NEW DELHI -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrapped up a three-day visit to India Tuesday, downplaying differences over Iran, stressing the shared goal of a stable Afghanistan and calling for greater U.S. company access to India's booming economy.

But Clinton reserved her most pointed comments for neighboring Pakistan, which she called on to stop using its territory as a safe haven for insurgents keen on striking nearby countries or its own people.

NEW DELHI -- A roadside bomb killed 11 paramilitary officers and wounded 29 others Tuesday as they were traveling in a minibus in India's western state of Maharashtra. Although no group took immediate responsibility, authorities blamed insurgent Maoists.

RAEBARELI, India -- A special court in India sentenced 31 people to life in prison Wednesday after convicting them for killing dozens of Muslims during communal riots in the western Indian state of Gujarat nine years ago.

MIYAKO, Japan -- The dog had been left tied up in a yard in Fukushima, the largely emptied city synonymous with the words "nuclear disaster."

Despite the threat of radiation leaking from the nuclear plant 40 miles away, Toby Weymiller, a teacher who got the distress call from the shelter Animal Friends Niigata, drove to the city and rescued the dog and a stranded cat.

"The dog was really freaked out," said Weymiller, who downplayed any danger to his own health. "But he's in the shelter and happy now."

Several weeks after Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami, a loose network of pet groups is working to provide many of the services for stranded and stressed animals that emergency services have been providing for people, including food, medicine and shelter.
