Italian marines denied bail in India

MUMBAI, India: An Indian court has denied bail to two Italian marines accused of shooting Indian fishermen they mistook for pirates.
A court in the southern state of Kerala rejected the bail application Friday.
Italian Consul General Giampaolo Cutillo says the marines, now in an Indian jail, will appeal the decision.
Italy has also asked Kerala authorities to release the two men to a guest house, a request India’s Supreme Court ordered the state to rule on by Wednesday.
The case has tested India’s relationship with Italy, which maintains that it has jurisdiction because the marines are active military personnel and the incident took place in international waters.
India says the men should be tried in India because the fishermen died on an Indian boat.
