DTN News - MIDEAST NEWS: A Palestinian Protester Being Arrested By Israeli Security Forces /  Middle East Peace Talks In Deadlock Over Core Issue

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - January 18, 2014: When Israel and the Palestinians agreed, under intense pressure from Washington, to relaunch direct bilateral negotiations last July, US secretary of state John Kerry set an extremely ambitious, some would say naive, nine- month deadline for the sides to clinch an elusive peace deal.

That deadline is fast approaching and although the sides have met about 20 times, in strict secrecy, there is no indication to date that the parties have been able to significantly narrow the gaps on any of the core issues.

DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: The F-18 Fighter Jet - America’s Go-To Multipurpose Strike Fighter

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - January 16, 2014: Since the 1960s, the U.S. Navy has needed a reliable carrier-based strike fighter, and the F-18 and its different iterations have answered the call.

To this day, the fighter jet is considered “the most advanced multi-role strike fighter available” to the U.S. Armed Forces, according to the U.S. Navy.

Also known as the “backbone of U.S. naval aviation strike warfare,” the F-18 Hornet — the single-seat E model and the two-seat F model — is capable of performing “virtually every mission in the tactical spectrum,” the U.S. Navy reported.

"God will decide who is the best man for the country. May the best man win," said Mr Khan while interacting with reporters in Ahmedabad, who asked him if he endorses Mr Modi for the country's top job. "Modi saab should be able to fulfill his destiny," said the 48-year-old superstar, whose new film Jai Ho releases on January 24. (Watch Video Here)

"He is a great man, I have not seen this sort of development elsewhere," Mr Khan said. (Kai Po Che! Salman Khan flies a kite with Narendra Modi). But he also said voters must decide who is most suitable. "If you think Modi saab is best for you, vote for him. Vote for the best man in your constituency," he said, adding,"For you it's Modi. In my constituency Bandra,  they are Baba Siddique and Priya Dutt."

The Gujarat Chief Minister is described by his critics as a divisive leader who failed to protect hundreds of Muslims during communal riots in 2002 in his state. A court recently found that there is no evidence to merit his prosecution for complicity in the violence, as alleged by his opponents. It also upheld a Supreme Court investigation that had cleared Mr Modi.
