Indian authorities are pandering to emotions over the arrest of two
Italian Marines for the killing of two Indian fishermen, Italy's Foreign
Minister Giulio Terzi has said.
Indian authorities are also
pandering to emotions and local politics, Italian news agency AKI quoted
the minister as saying Monday.
A security detail of Italian
Marines Feb 15 fired at a fishing boat off the coast of Kerala, killing
the fisherman. The Italians said they mistook the victims to be pirates.
"At the moment there are considerable differences of a judicial nature," Terzi told reporters here.
Terzi said local politics was adding to the difficulty of resolving the diplomatic differences.
The
two Marines have been arrested and charged with murder. The Italians
say the incident took place in international waters and the Italians
should be tried in Italy. India disputes this.
