US, India extend talks to salvage nuclear deal

---

WASHINGTON, July 19 (AFP): The United States and India extended nuclear talks by another day after failing Wednesday to finalize an implementing accord for their landmark civilian atomic deal, officials said.
They were scheduled to end their two-day meeting in Washington on Wednesday but one official said they decided to pore over some "technical issues" on Thursday in a bid to secure an agreement.
"They had a good meeting. They are continuing the discussions tomorrow," said Tom Casey, a State Department spokesman.
The two powers have been for two years trying to devise a comprehensive agreement under which the United States would provide nuclear technology and fuel after agreeing in principle to reverse three decades of sanctions.
