New Delhi: India is likely to raise with the Trump administration the use of US-made anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) by Pakistan Army to target Indian troops along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, defence ministry sources indicated today.

The Pakistan Army had used the ATMGs during heavy shelling on an Indian Army team along the LoC in Rajouri district of J-K last Sunday in which four army men including a captain were killed, the sources said.

Army sources had said that the Pakistan Army used 120mm mortars and the ATGMs in the Rajouri attack, adding usually Pakistan uses 80mm mortars to target Indian posts along the LoC.

The security establishment here is understood to have been concerned over use of US-made ATGMs by Pakistan considering the expanding Indo-US strategic ties. "We are going to raise the issue with them (the US)", said a source.

The defence and security ties between India and the US have been on an upswing. In June 2016, the US had designated India a "Major Defence Partner" intending to elevate defence trade and technology sharing with India to a level commensurate with that of its closest allies and partners.

The Army last week had clearly indicated that it would take retaliatory action against the killing of four army men.

The sources said that Pakistan has been escalating the hostilities along the LoC and in hinterland in J-K to vitiate the atmosphere ahead of panchayat polls in the state.

We May Have Just Uncovered the Earliest Direct Evidence of Life on Earth

Hard Science We May Have Just Uncovered the Earliest Direct Evidence of Life on Earth 17 10030   Wikimedia Commons Life on Earth At approximately 3.5 billion-year-old, the  oldest fossils on Earth  have been uncovered in Western Australia. The microscopic fossils are the earliest direct evidence of life on Earth and — thanks to further analysis and study by researchers at UCLA and the University of Wisconsin-Madison —could deepen our understanding of the origins of life. The study was published on Monday in the  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).  In the study, a team of researchers led by  J. William Schopf, professor of paleobiology at UCLA, and John W. Valley, professor of geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, described 11 microbial fossil specimens stemming from five separate taxa. They connected the fossil’s morphologies to the chemical signatures we understand to be the basis for life. Some of the s...

It’s Official: The FTC Is Investigating Facebook

Now IT'S OFFICIAL: THE FTC IS INVESTIGATING FACEBOOK This week is already shaping up to be  anotherrough one for Facebook. This morning, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a bipartisan federal agency designed to protect consumers and promote competition, is investigating the embattled company. https://sagarabhi.wooplr.com/s/RkQRZE9jL?ref=cp.c.i.f Rumblings of such an investigation began March 20, when  The Washington Post  reported  that the FTC was beginning an investigation into the social media platform in the wake of news of its  involvement with Cambridge Analytica , a data mining company. However,  WaPo  cited a source not authorized to speak on the record, and an FTC spokesperson simply said the agency was “aware of the issues that have been raised but cannot comment on whether we are investigating.” Today, Tom Pahl, Acting Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, made it off...
