LAS VEGAS, Dec. 3  -- A Republican seeking to unseat U. S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has been indicted by a state grand jury, officials said.

Nevada Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, the first Republican to announce he was mounting a challenge of Reid and considered a viable candidate, was indicted on four counts of misappropriation and falsification of public records, The Hill reported Wednesday. He is accused of committing the crimes while he was state treasurer.

Washington, Sept 27: The US House of Representatives is likely to vote on the Indo-US civil nuclear deal later tonight as the debate on the Bill was wrapped up in 40 minutes.

However, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid has indicated that the legislation on the subject in the upper Chamber will be taken up and passed only next week.

Support for the nuclear deal came from House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman, a known opponent of the deal, who said, “The deal is a positive step as it will bring India into the non-proliferation regime.”
