The US government is poised to propose rules that could restrict the ability of Chinese and other foreign nationals to engage in high-level research in the country, a plan that is generating fierce opposition from companies and universities. The move comes amid growing fears in the US that its relatively open rules allowing foreign nationals to work with sensitive technologies leave the country open to espionage.

THREE Chinese nationals arrested in California on allegations they conspired to pass top-secret information on hi-tech US warships to Beijing have been charged with acting as agents of a foreign government. The arrests will prove embarrassing for the Chinese government as President George Bush prepares to visit the country later this week on his tour of Asia. Counter-espionage experts believe the leak of sensitive information over a 15-year period, including hundreds of thousands of documents relating to attack submarines, electromagnetic artillery and early-warning nuclear technology, is one of the most damaging breaches of national security ever to hit the United...

An unsubstantiated tip that terrorists planned to attack Boston earlier this month should not have been made public, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Friday. The warning — which turned out to be bogus — led to a public alert, increased security in Boston and prompted Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to skip President Bush's inauguration. It reflected a breakdown in the United States' still-developing intelligence-sharing system that was put in place after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. "This was information shared with our partners, and some of them viewed it as a need to take action on it," Ridge...

Mitt Romney returned home from Washington when it became public that a tipster warned that four Chinese and a pair of Iraqis had been smuggled into the country and were headed for New York and Boston.
