UK defence secretary quits over sexual harassment allegation


British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon resigned on Wednesday following a highly-publicised allegation of sexual harassment, the defence ministry said. A ministry spokesperson confirmed Fallon's resignation, while he was quoted in a statement as saying that his past behaviour may have "fallen short".
Fallon had previously apologised for putting his hand on a political journalist's knee in 2002.
