Trump must decide every few months whether to continue waiving nuclear sanctions, with the next SRINAGAR, India: Four policemen were killed on Saturday in a bomb blast set off by suspected Islamist militants in Indian Kashmir, police and reports said, marking a deadly start to the new year in the restive valley. They were on patrol when the improvised explosive device (IED) exploded in Sopore, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the main city of Srinagar. The bomb was planted by militants near a shop amid a strike called by separatists, the Press Trust of India and other local media said. The latest incident comes during a spike in violence in the disputed region which is claimed in full by India and Pakistan. Last week four Indian soldiers were killed in an attack by armed militants who stormed a paramilitary camp outside Srinagar. Kashmir was divided between India and Pakistan at the end of British colonial rule over the subcontinent in 1947.
2 JETS COLLIDE ON GROUND AT TORONTO AIRPORT
MONTREAL: Two jets collided on the ground at a Toronto airport on Friday ( Saturday in Manila), setting the tail of one aircraft alight and prompting passengers to evacuate the other via an emergency slide. Both WestJet and Sunwing confirmed that their planes were involved in the collision at 18: 19 local time ( 2319 GMT) at Toronto Pearson International, the second such incident at the airport in five months. Several hours after the collision the airport said all WestJet passengers were safely at the terminal, adding that one of the airport’s fire and emergency service personnel was undergoing hospital treatment. “At this time, airport operations have not been significantly affected by the incident but continue to be challenged by the extreme cold weather conditions,” the airport’s statement said. WestJet said on Twitter that the Boeing 737- 800 plane had 168 guests and six crew onboard, and had arrived in Toronto via Cancun. Waiting to proceed to the gate, the aircraft “was struck by a Sunwing aircraft pushing back from the gate,” WestJet said.
