| Deadly volley of bombs in Bangalore |
| 2008-07-25 |
| One or more people have been killed and more than a dozen injured in a series of explosions in the city of Bangalore, southern India, police said today. There were four blasts in the city's Madiwala neighbourhood, Ahmed Hussain, a police officer, told the Associated Press. The number varied in other media reports. Hussain said a woman was killed but he had no immediate information on casualties or the cause. Indian media reports said there may have been six blasts and three people killed. Television footage showed police from bomb squads searching areas covered with shattered glass. The pictures suggested the explosions were small. Bangalore is one of India's main centres of outsourcing for western financial and IT firms, and has the headquarters of many foreign companies operating in India. In May, a courthouse in Bangalore was bombed. Investigators suspected it was a retaliation by militants from the banned Student Islamic Movement of India for a series of arrests in January. In recent months other Indian cities have been hit by explosions that have been blamed on Islamist militants. |
