PORT BLAIR, India — Indian officers had a nervous long-distance face-off with the tribe who killed an American missionary, in their latest bid to locate his body on a remote island, police said Sunday. Police are taking painstaking efforts to avoid any disruption to the Sentinelese -- a pre-neolithic tribe whose island is off-limits to outsiders -- as they seek Chau's body. Fishermen who took Chau to North Sentinel -- which is one of the Andaman and Nicobar islands in the Bay of Bengal -- said they saw the tribe burying the body on the beach. Seven people, including six fishermen who were involved in ferrying Chau to North Sentinel, have been arrested. The fishermen have accompanied the police teams to the island to help efforts to pinpoint where Chau was killed.
