Issue No. 7-8 | April 01-30, 2012

In the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, one of the casualties was the anti-terrorist squad chief Hemant Karkare. He was said to be wearing a ‘bullet-proof’ jacket and yet the bullet pierced through.

King, President of Ceradyne, proudly proclaims “not one of the US Army or Marine Corps wearing a Ceradyne body armour plate has lost his life either in Afghanistan or Iraq.
