TERRORISTS KILL 5 INDIAN SOLDIERS Furor over Pak attack at LOC
Raghuram Rajan will be new RBI Gov.
NEW DELHI: Five Indian soldiers were killed in an earlymorning attack on their post on August 6 along the Line of Control in Poonch, Kashmir, just as the two countries were moving towards resuming stalled peace talks. Responding to furor in Parliament over the killing of Indian soldiers, Defense Minister A K Antony said the attack was carried out by "terrorists along with persons dressed in Pakistan Army uniform" and India will take all necessary steps to uphold the sanctity of the Line of Con-
trol (LoC). The attack took place on the Indian side of the LoC. Antony was making a suo motu statement in both Houses of Parliament on the August 6 incident. An Indian army patrol, comprising one Non-Commissioned Officer and five other ranks, was "ambushed on our side" of the LoC in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir, he said in identical statements in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.

Gurdwara shooting victims honored on anniversary OAK CREEK, Wisconsin: Nearly a thousand people from different faiths gathered here on August 5 to pay homage to the six Sikh worshippers gunned down inside a Gurdwara by a white supremacist here last year, as a sea of candles and emotional tributes marked the tragic incident's anniversary. The people paid their respects to the Sikh victims at a candlelight vigil and called for an end to the gun violence that kills at least 12,000 Americans a year. The people, from all walks of life, included religious
leaders, government officials and survivors whose lives were shattered by gun violence across the country, from Sandy Hook to Columbine, from Virginia Tech to the deadly streets of Wisconsin and Washington. On August 5, 2012, white supremacist Wade Michael Page went on a deadly rampage at the Gurdwara, fatally shooting six worshippers and wounding six others before turning the gun on himself.
