The deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Islamabad was briefed by the Foreign Ministry yesterday on a series of alleged recent actions by the Indian Army and air force. The moves could be interpreted as foreshadowing imminent hostilities between the two countries. Indian officials earlier had complained of rumored moves by the Pakistani armed forces near the West Pakistan - India border. There is no confirmation of military moves by the Indians, but both countries presumably will be taking precautionary defensive action at a time when bilateral relations are at their lowest point since the brief war of 1965. Events in both countries, meanwhile, tend to cause further tension. Prime Minister Gandhi, cam- paigning for the coming national elections, has con- tinued to take a tough public stand against Paki- stan, demanding not only compensation for the plane and extradition of the hijackers but also a Paki- stan pullout from that part of Kashmir which it has "illegally" held since 1949. Across the border, the hijackers, who apparently will not be prosecuted by the government, are being treated as heroes by the citizens of West Pakistan. Officials of both nations, however, continue quietly to seek a means for defusing the crisis.

Meanwhile, the Pakistanis have informed the UN Security Council by letter of the facts of the case as seen from Isla- mab ad. 16 Feb 71 Central Intelligence Bulletin 25X1 25X1 Approved For R~Iease 2003/08/21 : CIA-RDP79T00975A0183000~0002-5 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/08/21 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO18300020002-5 Next 1 Page(s) In Document Exempt Approved For Release 2003/08/21 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO18300020002-5 Approved Fo 25X1 25X1 USSR - LATIN AMERIC : o ero o he o- viet airline, and Cubana Airlines expect to start weekl air service from Havana to Santiago, Chile is will be the tirst o to ou America, and will include a refueling stop in Lima. Cubana also has had no previous scheduled service to South America, although it has been fly- ing regularly to Mexico City. The Chilean airline will have reciprocal rights and intends to schedule flights to Havana via Lima. Aeroflot now flies regularly twice a week from Moscow to Havana and apparently will extend one of these flights onward to Santiago. Moscow received overflight and emer- gency-landing rights from Colombia late last year and has been discussing civil air matters, includ- ing the purchase of Soviet aircraft, with Peru over the past several months 16 Feb 71 Central Intelligence Bulletin Approved For elease 2003/08/21 : CIA-RDP79T00975A01 (continued) 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/08/21 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO18300020002-5 Approved For Release 2003/08/21 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO18300020002-5 Approved Fb&Release 2003/08/21 : CIA-RDP79TO0 AO18300020002-5 Top Secret Top Secret Approved For Release 2003/08/21 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO18300020002-5
