...chocolate-colored exterior is faded and, without a leather cover, the steering is scorching hot in the sun. The Maruti 800 - India's original people's car before the Nano came along - looks dated.

...chairman of the NATO Military Committee, accused the government of "ignorance regarding the military's needs," especially when it comes to manpower and equipment. Likewise, Reinhold Robbe, the outgoing parliamentary ombudsman for the armed forces, told the Bild newspaper on Tuesday that members of the paratrooper unit that came under attack in Kunduz had previously complained to him about their "patchy" training. "Drivers are being deployed who are not properly trained on armored vehicles until after they arrive in Afghanistan," he said. Germany's Armed Forces Association has also complained about the shortage of military helicopters and vehicles in Afghanistan...
