US to expeditiously process border sensors for India: Blackwill

The United States is expeditiously processing India's request for border sensors and equipment for its special forces, American ambassador Robert Blackwill said in Kolkata on Wednesday.

The Bush administration has also approved the sale of General Electric engines and advanced avionics for India's indigenous Light Combat Aircraft, he said.

India, he said, is taking on lease several additional US fire-finding/weapon-locating radars, in addition to those contracted for purchase. The spares for Sea King helicopters were also on a fast track for delivery, he added.

The ambassador said US President George W Bush has waived the 1998 sanctions on India and drastically pruned the 'Entity List', which barred Americans from doing business with some Indian companies, from over 150 entities to less than 20 as part of efforts to transform India-US relations.
