The Maoists stop DIG Jaswinder Singh's vehicle near Guma village and shoot him at point blank range.
Suspected Maoists on Monday shot dead a senior Orissa police official in the state's Raigada district.
Southwestern range Deputy Inspector General of Police Jaswinder Singh was going from Sunabeda, district headquarter of Koraput, to Raigada in a private vehicle when he was shot dead.
The Maoists stopped his vehicle near Guma village and shot him at point blank range, it said. No police official was available for comment.
Newsweek reports that we’ve finally found an effective way to combat the Iraq War insurgency: marry our love of cartoonish violence with Muslim extremists’ passion for American cultural exports like True Lies and Executive Decision.
They recently transformed an industrial block in downtown LA into a busy Baghdad square, filled with fruit stands, shoe repair shops and rug dealers. At least 60 extras dressed in hijabs, kaffiyehs and polyester-wool blend slacks were herded onto the set to simulate an average shopping day.
We haven’t a clue what evening news Plotkin has been watching, but we can certainly imagine a bunch of insurgents recording the spot and watching it over and over while they try to top each other with “MST3K”-style commentary.
Meryl Streep's artist husband Don Gummer brightens Broadway with sculptures from Columbus Circle to 157th St. - New York Daily News Meryl Streep's artist husband Don Gummer brightens Broadway with sculptures from Columbus Circle to 157th St.
Meryl Streep's artist husband Don Gummer brightens Broadway with sculptures from Columbus Circle to 157th St.
Meryl Streep's husband of 37 years is doing a Broadway show — but not in a theater.
Sculptor Don Gummer's art is on exhibit outside subway stations on Broadway between Columbus Circle and 157th St.
Nine aluminum and stainless steel sculptures, ranging from eight to 10 feet tall, are now on view in advance of an official May 15 ribbon-cutting that will take place between W. 71st and W. 72nd St.
"I appreciate having art to see in the median," said upper West Sider John Huber as he surveyed "High Rise," a sculpture at 103rd. St., on Tuesday morning.
Public open-air art shows have added pizazz to Broadway malls since an exhibit by Tom Otterness in 2005.
Installation for Gummer's show was done Monday or over the weekend, said Gohar Chichian, a spokeswomen for Broadway Mall Association, a presenter with Morrison Gallery of Kent, Ct., and NYC Parks.
"We're working on completing signage now," Chichian added.
Some signs are up already showing locations at Columbus Circle and 65th, 72nd, 79th, 96th, 103rd, 117th, 137th and 157th Sts. Signs carry a message: "Please do not climb on the artwork."
It's a daunting task, but not an impossible one. The Germans are beatable as Poland proved last Saturday and here are five other reasons to be positive.
When Sebastian Mila bagged Poland’s second goal against Germany on Saturday, it was a double blow for many Ireland fans. Poland had just secured three Group D bonus points – and, more tellingly, the Germans would be looking to rectify that failing as soon as possible.
That spells bad news for Ireland. But following Germany’s World Cup heroics, maybe the old adage of the world champions’ hangover is ringing true.
The Germans stuttered to a 2-1 win at home to Scotland before their defeat to Poland. While Martin O’Neill’s men have six points from two games, albeit against Georgia and a shockingly bad Gibraltar, the Boys In Green have some sort of momentum, the Germans don’t.
It’s just a small chink in their merciless armour, but Poland proved that the Germans are human like the rest of us. The Scotland scare and the wobble in Warsaw will surely have the Germans questioning their self belief, even just a little.
Ireland have nothing to fear and nothing to lose.
Germany have the strength in depth to cope with the absence of a few first-team regulars. But the starting 11 that beat Argentina in the World Cup final has been ripped apart.
Andre Schurrle is the latest to pull out of their squad where he joins Bastian Schweinsteiger, Marco Reus, Benedikt Hoewedes, Mesut Ozil, Sami Khedira, Marcel Schmelzer and Mario Gomez on the sidelines.
Add in the retirement of Philipp Lahm, Per Mertesacker and Miroslav Klose and it’s a very different German side on show in Gelsenkirchen tonight.
Here is a the German side that started against Poland last Saturday: Neuer; Rüdiger, Boateng, Hummels, Durm; Kramer , Kroos; Bellarabi, Götze, Schürrle, Müller.
They say there is no good time to play the Germans. Surely this is as good as any.
At the end of the Giovanni Trapattoni era, there was a feeling that the heart had been ripped out of the dressing room.
Ireland’s self-belief was in tatters and there were stories that communication lines between the players and the manager were lost.
Stephen Ward alluded to this during the week when he said: "The 6-1 was a low for everyone but I think we will be better prepared this time.
"That time we played Germany we didn't show them respect in terms of our preparation and how we went about the game, so this is a new campaign and there is a new spirit, a new way of preparing and doing things.
"We will start that early in the week and be ready for Germany.
"The language barrier is something that wasn't always easy to deal with under the last manager, it was hard for the manager to get his point across - it wasn't for the lack of trying but sometimes things got lost along the way, so it is easier now in terms of language."
It's too early to make a judgement on O'Neill and Roy Keane, but the initial signs at least tell us that the players are in the zone.
It’s time to rid ourselves of the inferiority complex - Ireland have beaten the best on numerous occasions before.
During Steve Staunton’s era, Ireland went to Stuttgart and were unlucky to lose out 1-0 and while the return leg in Croke Park was a damp squib with the Germans already through, Ireland secured a 0-0 draw.
Instead of thinking the impossible, we can cast our minds back to France in Paris in 09, Holland 2001, Spain 2002, Germany 2002. Yes, they are all a long time ago but as results have shown us this week in Europe, the smaller nations have the ability to produce top class results.
Albania beat Portugal, Iceland beat Holland, Slovakia beat Spain, Poland beat Germany. All this week.
If Ireland need any motivation or assurances that they can cause an upset tonight, just look at those results.
Is this how Ireland will line up against Germany?

Abadi lauds forces 'fighting more than one liberation battle at the same time' as drive against ISIL holdouts continues.
Iraq's prime minister says government forces have begun the operation to retake the town of Hawija from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group.
In a statement released by his office, Haider al-Abadi said the operation began at dawn on Thursday, just two days after Iraqi forces began an offensive against ISIL holdouts in the western Anbar province.
"We announce the launch of the first phase of the liberation of Hawija, in fulfilment of our pledge to our people to liberate all Iraqi territory and to cleanse it from the terrorist Daesh gangs," Abadi said, using the Arabic acronym for ISIL.
Abadi praised his forces, who were "fighting more than one liberation battle at the same time and winning victory after victory", adding that "a new victory" was looming.
Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel-Hamid, speaking from Sulaimaniyah city in Iraq's Kurdish region, said that up to 2,000 ISIL fighters were estimated to be in Hawija.
"Some have argued that Hawija should have been dealt with before the Mosul offensive as there's a sizeable number of ISIL fighters - estimated between a 1,500 to 2,000. And that the Hawija district has actually acted as a rear base for the ISIL fighters, somewhere where they could have retreated safely," she said.
The offensive started from the northwest and the southwest of Hawija district, she said.
"It is going to take a while because the area is full of small villages and it's quite vast and porous. So they will have to try to encircle Hawija town before they are able to get into it."
Hawija, located in the oil-rich province of Kirkuk, 240km north of Baghdad, is one of the last pockets of territory held by ISIL fighters in Iraq.
Iraqi and coalition planes stepped up a campaign of air raids on Hawija earlier this month, targeting ISIL bases and weapons facilities.
Iraqi forces have already recaptured the northern cities of Mosul and Tal Afar this year.

Anna and Pavel are woken early to take part in a long morning run and challenging physical training session. They then gather with the soldiers to salute the flags of Russia and the Russian Pacific Fleet. The day is spent preparing for their upcoming military exercise. Pavel is given a landmine detector and must learn to operate it without stepping on any landmines.
Soon after, the pair are clued in on the “dirty” secret of how armoured vehicles stay afloat. Having prepared the machines to take to the high seas, Pavel and Anna climb into one, hoping it will indeed sail. As they journey out to a military ship, Anna is overcome with seasickness. To combat the unpleasant feeling, she imagines she’s on a cruise instead. Testing military myths is never easy.
High-ranking former military commanders and security advisors echo Barack Obama’s warning that global warming is jeopardizing US national security.
This story originally appeared on the Guardian and is republished here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.
Political gridlock over climate change has left the US military exposed to Russia’s superior fleets in the Arctic, flooding in its naval bases and a more unstable world, according to high-ranking former military commanders and security advisors.
The comments, published on the Weather Channel on Wednesday, echoed president Barack Obama, who recently lambasted climate skeptic politicians for jeopardizing global and national security.
Sherri Goodman, who served as Bill Clinton’s deputy undersecretary of defense and founded the security analysis firm CNA Corporation, said the US climate debate was “stuck in the past” and that climate change was “acting as a threat multiplier in the Arctic”.
The Arctic is the most rapidly warming region on Earth and its sea ice has undergone major declines in recent years and decades. Goodman said the intransigence of US politics had left a technology deficit in the far north—a place where the two increasingly tense powers are separated by just 82 kilometers.
“Right now we have a fleet, a very small fleet of ageing icebreakers. The Russians and other countries have vastly more ice-breaking capability and other capabilities to be present in the Arctic. We will need to have a greater presence in the Arctic of various types,” she said.
“Literally, the nation’s defense is at stake,” said rear admiral David Titley, former naval oceanography operations command and a professor of meteorology.
“Unfortunately all we have to look at are the events of the day in Crimea and Ukraine and we see that the Russians are making some noises about, ‘well, you know, maybe the Arctic is another place we should compete rather than cooperate,'” he said.
Brigadier general Stephen Cheney, CEO of the American Security Project and a foreign affairs advisor to the State Department, said the security concerns extended beyond the Arctic to the very foundation of US military power—its naval bases.
“I can start here in the continental United States where we’ve got 30 naval bases both here and overseas. Naval bases by the nature of course are on the coast. Coasts are threatened as the sea level rises, and I can give you two very prominent examples, the Naval Air Station in Norfolk, Virginia, for instance. Eglin Air Force base in Florida, another one, has already flooded in this past year when they had to shut it down for the first time in its history,” he said.
But he said the concerns were not limited to the US’s ability to defend itself. Climate change was already causing wars around the world. He gave the example of Tuareg farmers in Mali, displaced by drought and radicalized by conflict, who have destabilized the west African country. “We know climate change caused this,” he said.
It was important, said Cheney, that the military recognized its own contribution as the largest polluter in the world’s second highest polluting country. Weaning the defense force off fossil fuels is an active policy that would solve a security and supply problem as well as bring down carbon emissions.
“Many conflicts throughout our history have been based on resource competition,” said General Charles Jacoby, who was the commander of the US North Command—the primary line of defense against invasion for the US mainland—until last year. He said that this competition would only intensify in the future, with energy and water supply at the top of the list.
Jacoby said climate change was a “legitimate mission that we readily embrace.” He said the military had to be pragmatic and the politicking around climate change, on which the Republican party has grown increasingly extreme, was ultimately irrelevant.
“It can be considered a politicized issue. And it can be considered something that one party is more interested in, another party less interested in. I’m a soldier. I’m a requirements guy. I’m a mission accomplishment guy. And so for me, it’s be in favor of what’s happening. And so, I deal with the facts. Whatever the cause, is less relevant to me than the effect,” he said.
On Tuesday the Guardian revealed US conservatives had directed $125 million toward groups in an effort to seed doubt over the existence of global warming and derail the Obama administration’s climate policies.
The Weather Channel also interviewed leading Republicans, who bemoaned the party’s obstructionism.
Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican who governed New Jersey and served as director of the Environmental Protection Agency under George W. Bush, said the Republican stance on climate change was “frustrating and puzzling” citing the GOP’s history of environmental stewardship.
