The two countries have also committed to raising bilateral trade from billion a year to billion inside a decade. The pacts included the joint manufacture of 226 military helicopters and the construction of 12 atomic plants in India.
Running back Latavius Murray moved past that mark on a 3-yard run in the second quarter Thursday and is Oakland’s first player to crack the century mark since Darren McFadden in 2010.

Four Turkish troops ‘wounded in IS attack on Iraqi camp’
US Vice President Joe Biden has spoken to Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi regarding Turkey’s troop deployments. After Carter announced the new special operations force, Shi’ite militias pledged to fight any such US deployment.
It wasn’t pretty. Sloppy play, mounting injuries and flags everywhere made for a somewhat ugly football game on Thursday night. “He’s a great Raider”. Woodson has picked off Rivers just once before, but rest-assured he will be looking for his second one tonight.
Somehow, they may have been the ugliest game the San Diego Chargers have played all season long.
San Diego’s Kendall Reyes got his hands up to bat down a pass at the line and then corralled the ball out of the air.

The Chargers will travel to Denver in an attempt to play spoiler for the Broncos. They just said, “We need somebody, ‘ so I said, ‘If you need me, I’m ready to go.’ Just let me know what you need me to do.'” In his regular job, Inman started for the injured Stevie Johnson and caught eight passes for 82 yards and a touchdown. But after they failed to advance, a television replay appeal wiping out a touchdown catch, Lambo missed a 48-yard field goal try and San Diego lost a chance to boost the lead.
