NEW YORK: John Solomon, the executive editor of The Washington Times, has resigned, the newspaper said on Friday. Solomon has held the post since January 2008. He resigned on November 6, according to an article on The Washington Times website. The article did not give a reason for Solomon's resignation and said he declined to comment on his decision.
