Classroom carnage: US looks for answers, motive
Attacker went on rampage after killing his mother
Newtown, Connecticut, December 15
Investigators assembled “some very good evidence” to explain what drove a 20-year-old gunman to slaughter 20 children and six adults at an elementary school, the police said on Saturday, a day after one of the worst mass shootings in US history shattered a small Connecticut town. The attacker, identified by law enforcement sources as Adam Lanza, opened fire on Friday morning at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, which teaches children aged five to 10.

Malik’s U-turn: Didn’t equate Babri with terror
New Delhi, December 15
Faced with criticism over his remarks, visiting Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik today said he had never compared the demolition of the Babri mosque with terror acts such as the 26/11 attack or Samjhauta blasts. “Please see the footage of the (yesterday) event. I never said I am comparing Babri mosque with Bombay blasts (attacks) or Samjhauta blasts. I said that we should take steps so that we do not see a repeat of such incidents,” Malik told a gathering of select reporters here

Nagpur, December 8
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli showed character today, batting completely out of their belligerent character, playing the longest games of patience in Tests.

India were 297 for eight at stumps in their first innings, still 33 behind England. Kohli and Dhoni added 198 runs for the fifth wicket, feeding the hopes of a substantial lead, and a possible series-equalling win. That possibility has practically disappeared after what happened in the last hour of play today. (Details on Sports page)
