The militants blew up a pipeline carrying crude oil from a drilling site in the stateÂ’s Duliajan area, and a gas pipeline in the town of Digboi, 400 km (250 miles) east of Guwahati, the stateÂ’s main city. They also hurled a grenade at a house of a local politician, hurting six people, including two children, officers said.
Police blamed the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), the most powerful rebel group among the northeastÂ’s many insurgencies, for the market bombing and for a series of grenade attacks on Thursday that wounded at least 20 people. No group has claimed responsibility for the explosions.
