Powell arrives in Pakistan for talks on war

With the United States-led war in Afghanistan just over the horizon, Secretary of State Colin Powell was tonight meeting with Pakistani officials on reopening military ties and on encouraging a reduction in tensions with India over Kashmir.

Powell, who undertook his trip under unusually tight security, will meet with President Pervez Musharraf tomorrow and then travel to India for talks on Wednesday with Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
