Today is the 10th anniversary of 9/11 terrorist attacks which occurred in USA on September 11, 2011 in which nearly 3000 people died.
In his weekly address, The United States President Barrack Obama sought a balance between remembering and moving forward. He also tried to summon the feeling of unity that existed after terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people.

"They wanted to deprive us of the unity that defines us as a people. But we will not succumb to division or suspicion," Obama said. "We are Americans, and we are stronger and safer when we stay true to the values, freedoms and diversity that make us unique among nations."

Obama thanked American troops who have served in the post-Sept. 11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He praised the military successes that led to advances against al-Qaida and the killing of the group's leader, Osama bin Laden.

He also reaffirmed his commitment to winding down the conflicts he inherited.
"Yes, we face a determined foe, and make no mistake — they will keep trying to hit us again," Obama said. "But as we are showing again this weekend, we remain vigilant. We're doing everything in our power to protect our people."

Carl Peter Forster






The CEO of TATA MOTORS LTD, Carl Peter Forster (57) has resigned after serving the company for less than two years. He joined the company in 2010 coming from GENERAL MOTORS CO. where he was the head of European operations.

“I deeply regret that my personal circumstances make it difficult for me to continue to perform the challenging duties of managing the thriving global activities of the Tata Motors group with its main activities in India and the UK and increasingly in additional overseas markets,” Forster said in the release. “I am glad to continue my association with Tata Motors.”

 Forster’s resignation is a “setback” as the company struggles to boost sales at home in India“He was one of the strong pillars for JLR,” said Pramod Amthe, an analyst with Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc in Mumbai. “His exit as the head of the business is definitely negative. Investors may not get the same level of comfort they used to get from talking to Carl.”

“The board respects Carl-Peter’s personal circumstances that led to this move,” Chairman Ratan Tata said in an e-mailed statement today. “We would like to thank him for his contributions to the successful development of our company.
