KARACHI: Recalling the Kargil
conflict, Pakistan's former military
dictator General Pervez Musharraf on
Sunday said the Pakistani army
"caught India by throat" and that
India will never forget the war.
"There was a second line force, too,
which caught India by throat and
that was later given the status of
army," Musharraf said, addressing a
ceremony of his All Pakistan Muslim
League (APML).

DOHUK (Iraq): A spokesman for the
governor of Iraq's Anbar province
said Monday that about 500 people -
both civilians and Iraqi soldiers - are
estimated to have been killed over
the past few days as the city of
Ramadi fell to the Islamic State
group.
The estimates follow a shocking
defeat as Islamic State seized
control of the Anbar provincial
capital on Sunday, sending Iraqi
forces fleeing in a major loss despite
the support of US-led airstrikes
targeting the extremists.
Bodies, some burned, littered the
streets as local officials reported the
militants carried out mass killings of
Iraqi security forces and civilians.
Online video showed Humvees,
trucks and other equipment
speeding out of Ramadi, with
soldiers gripping onto their sides.
"We do not have an accurate count
yet," said the spokesman, Muhannad
Haimour. "We estimate that 500
people have been killed, both
civilians and military, and
approximately 8,000 have fled the
city."

NEW DELHI/KOLKATA: Kolkata,
Bangalore and Mumbai shared
honours as students registered all
time high scores in the class X and
XII results conducted by the Council
for the Indian School Certificate
Examinations, led by a Kolkata boy
who had a near-perfect 99.75% in
the class XII exam.
 
MUMBAI: Extending losses for the
second day, the rupee weakened by
8 paise to 63.80 against the US
dollar in early trade on Tuesday due
to appreciation of the American unit
against other currencies overseas.
Besides increased demand for the
dollar from importers, a lower
opening in the domestic equity
market weighed on the local
currency, forex dealers said.
 
WACO: About 170 members of rival
motorcycle gangs were charged with
engaging in organised crime, a day
after a shootout at a Texas
restaurant that killed nine people
and wounded 18.
The crowd of suspects was so large
that authorities opened a convention
centre to hold them all before they
were arrested, police said on
Monday.
