BBC News: “Maoist rebels in eastern India have extended a deadline for their demands to met in exchange 
for returning two Italian men they kidnapped last week to late Wednesday. The rebels have demanded an end to military operations against them and the release of jailed Maoists. A deadline of Sunday for their list of 13 demands was earlier extended to late Tuesday.
The rebels say the two Italians are safe and in good condition. Paulo Bosusco, 54, and Claudio Colangelo, 61, were seized while trekking in a tribal area of Orissa state, one of several regions of India where Maoist rebels are active.
Talks over the Italians release are stalled because of differences between the government and rebels over mediators. On Tuesday, the rebels named three mediators, including one Maoist leader who is in prison.The government rejected two of the names and announced its list of three mediators. The rebels responded with fresh names as replacements, but one of the replacements has refused to negotiate for the rebels.”
