Indians indicted in temple shooting in Austria

Vienna: Austrian authorities have indicted six Indian men in connection with last year's shooting at a temple in Vienna.

A Sikh preacher was killed and more than a dozen others were wounded -- including a second Sikh cleric -- during the May 24 incident. The rampage triggered riots in several cities in northern India.

Prosecution spokesman Thomas Vecsey says one of the men currently in pretrial custody has been indicted on charges of murder and two counts of attempted murder. The other five are accused of involvement in the murder and attempted intentional aggravated assault. None of the suspects have been identified.

Court spokesman Christian Gneist says a trial date is expected to be set within the next few weeks.
