US plans evacuation from India, Pakistan over nuclear fears
usatoday.com -- As border tensions heighten between nuclear powers Pakistan and India, a U.S. government team is in India to plan the possible evacuation of 1,100 U.S. troops and up to 63,000 U.S. citizens from both countries. India's foreign minister urged Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday to honor pledges to halt terrorism in contested Kashmir and warned of "the urgency of the situation." The Pentagon needs no such warning. About 1,000 U.S. troops are on three military bases in Pakistan, and an undisclosed number of special operations forces are hunting al-Qaeda leaders in the country's western provinces. In addition, about 100 commandos are completing a military training exercise, code-named Balance Iroquois, with Indian forces in Agra, site of the Taj Mahal.
