Tawoos Hussain Manhas, 20, is a civil servant who works in the capital of Indian Kashmir, Srinagar, but who was brought up in the village of Kamal Kote, a few miles away from Uri.

One of the terrorists ordered him to fly to Libya, but Galal convinced him that, with...
...Even if the matter did reach the Council, Tehran may be assuming that Russia and China would veto any attempt to impose sanctions. "In legal terms, nothing has been done wrong by Iran that can be taken to the Security Council," Iran's foreign minister Kamal Kharrazi said in a recent interview with TIME.
