India pulls back warships from waters near Pakistan, easing tension
India moved warships away from waters near Pakistan Tuesday, easing tensions between the two nuclear powers.
U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld arrived in India the same day, in an attempt to help the neighbors avoid another war over the disputed region of Kashmir.
The Indian Navy's pullback comes a day after the Indian government announced it would allow Pakistani aircraft access to Indian airspace again.
Moroccan police arrest three men over plot to sink U.S., British ships
Moroccan police arrested three Saudi men last month for an alleged attempt to blow up U.S. and British warships in the Strait of Gibraltar.
The suspects, aged between 25 and 35, claimed to belong to Usama bin Laden's Al-Qaida network and planned to sail a dinghy loaded with explosives to attack the vessels.
The plan was similar to the one used to attack the USS Cole destroyer anchored in a port in Yemen in October, 2000.
Moroccan authorities have refused to disclose the names of the suspects but said that the arrests were made possible with the help of intelligence services of "several friendly countries."
