US, British envoys meet Fernandes

American Ambassador Richard Celeste and British High Commissioner Rob Young today called on Defence Minister George Fernandes to ascertain facts about the Indian air strikes on mercenaries who intruded into the Kargil sector.

An official said the American ambassador was given 'the facts'.

He said India was in touch with foreign governments to brief them on its action in the Kargil sector through its missions abroad. The ambassadors of various countries in New Delhi were also being informed of the developments.

The spokesman said the defence minister had convened a meeting of all political parties to brief them on the situation in the Kargil sector and the steps taken by the government to deal with intrusion.
