I know the Chinese are stupid. Why bother stealing from the US when the US is stealing from India? It got to be much easier just to steal from India. Is this what we call pot calling kettle something (can use the other word because it is not PC)?

India
US aircraft 'forced down
for espionage'

AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE in New Delhi
A US plane was forced down and detained in western
India for alleged espionage, local media reported
yesterday.

The Zee television news channel quoted sources as
saying the private plane was detained in the western
city of Ahmedabad.

It said the pilot was flying to the Pakistani city of
Karachi when it "disappeared from the radar screen".

The plane was forced to land in Ahmedabad and an
inspection revealed spy cameras, the report said,
adding that the plane had stopped for refuelling in the
western city of Nagpur.

The crew was suspected of filming unspecified
"sensitive installations" at low range, it added without
giving further details.

The Press Trust of India confirmed that a US plane
had been detained in Ahmedabad but said the
two-member crew was being interrogated for "intrusion
of Indian airspace" and travelling without proper
documents.

The news agency said the two unnamed crew members
had been detained on Wednesday morning, adding that
they were flying a turboprop two-seater aircraft.

The US Embassy in New Delhi said it had no
information on the reported incident.
