“Indian professor, student killed in Virginia”
[ 17 Apr, 2007 1005hrs ISTINDIATIMES NEWS NETWORK & AGENCIES ]

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “VIRGINIA: A gunman massacred 33 people at Virginia Tech in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern US history before the university could figure out what was going on and get the warning out to students.

The bloodbath on Monday ended with the gunman committing suicide, bringing the death toll to 33 and stamping the campus in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains with tragedy, perhaps forever.

G V Loganathan, a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, who graduated from IIT Kanpur and completed his PhD from Purdue University, was killed in the shootout.

An Indian student, Minal Panchal, was also allegedly missing after the shootout.”

Russia to build eight nuclear submarines by 2017
MOSCOW: Russia will build eight nuclear submarines armed with Bulava intercontinental missiles by 2017, junior Defence Minister Alexi Moskovski said Sunday as the first of them was launched.

“Seven submarines of the Borei (type 955) will be built and launched by the navy between now and 2015. The eighth will be received in 2017,” the Interfax news agency quoted him as saying.

The Yuri Dolgoruky submarine, launched at the northwestern naval base of Severodvinsk, is the first strategic nuclear submarine built in Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

The Bulava missiles can carry 10 nuclear warheads with a range of up to 8,000 kilometres (5,000 miles).
