NEW DELHI (AP) — India and Italy have failed to resolve their dispute over the fate of two Italian marines accused of fatally shooting two Indian fishermen off the southwest Indian coast 10 days ago.
The marines were providing security on a cargo ship and mistook the fishermen for pirates. They are in custody in the southern Indian city of Kochi.
Italian Foreign Minister Guilio Terzi traveled to New Delhi for talks on the incident with his Indian counterpart Tuesday. After the talks, he said they still disagreed on which country has jurisdiction in the case.
New Delhi says the Italians should be tried in India because the killings happened on an Indian boat. Rome says the shooting took place in international waters and the case should be handled in Italy.
