(AP Photo)NEW DELHI - Two police officers -- a husband and wife -- have been suspended for falsely claiming they scaled Mount Everest in Nepal in May, police said Thursday. Fellow climbers said the couple never reached the summit and altered someone else's photographs to earn their climbing certificates. A total of 456 people scaled Everest during this year's climbing season, which followed two years of disasters on the mountain.
