India, US leaders say to finalize nuclear deal
Washington (AFP) Nov 24, 2009 US President Barack Obama and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Tuesday they would finalize a landmark nuclear cooperation agreement that ends New Delhi's pariah status as a nuclear power.

Some lawmakers from Obama's Democratic Party opposed the treaty in Congress, saying it sent a bad message to nations such as Iran that are feared to be seeking nuclear weapons.
