India launches reprisals against US over diplomat arrest



India on Tuesday launched a series of reprisals against the US over a diplomat's arrest in New York, including pulling identity cards for American consular officials in the country, foreign ministry sources said.

"We have ordered the withdrawal of all ID cards that are issued by the Ministry of External Affairs to the officials at the US consulates across India," a senior ministry source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"These cards facilitate speedy entry and movement of the people carrying them as they travel to Indian airports or other public areas," the source added.
