Indian Sea King parts released

Article Abstract:

India is waiting for the return of at least two navy Westland Sea King that it sent to Britain for maintenance before the US imposed sanctions as a reaction to India's underground nuclear tests in May 1998. According to UK's Defence Secretary, the US may end its sanctions on spare parts for the Indian navy's Sea King helicopters. The UK expects the matter to be resolved in a matter of weeks after using its influence with the US.
