Russian Fighters Buzz US Carrier

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. fighter planes intercepted two Russian bombers
flying unusually close to an American aircraft carrier in the western
Pacific during the weekend.

A U.S. military official says that one Russian Tupolev 95 buzzed the
aircraft carrier USS Nimitz twice, at a low altitude of about 2,000 feet,
while another bomber circled about 50 nautical miles out. The official was
speaking on condition of anonymity because the reports on the flights were
classified as secret.

The Saturday incident, which never escalated beyond the flyover, comes amid
heightened tensions between the United States and Russia over U.S. plans for
a missile defense system based in Poland and the Czech Republic.
