I am amazed that the Boston Globe did not even speculate as to whom was behind this! A bomb in Northern India? Gee, should we take a guess as to who was behind this? The mormons? Or maybe the Lutherans! ANY OTHER group and the paper would have fingered them.....islam gets a pass for some reason.

Bomb on crowded train in India kills 7
By Joy Banerjee, Associated Press Writer | July 28, 2005

LUCKNOW, India --A bomb exploded Thursday on a crowded passenger train in northern India, killing at least seven people and injuring 50, a railway official said.

The train was traveling from the eastern city of Patna to New Delhi when the bomb exploded, said R.K. Singh, the top official for Indian Railways. He did not elaborate.

Medical teams were sent to the scene, near the town of Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh state, about 400 miles east of New Delhi, officials said.

"We have information about seven deaths," said Rajinder Singh, a senior railway official in Uttar Pradesh state, where the explosion occurred. At least 50 were wounded, and the death toll was likely to rise because many of them were in serious condition, he said.

Earlier Thursday, police found a suitcase packed with 18 small bombs inside a passenger train car in eastern Bihar state, said Uday Kant Jha, a railway official in Patna, the state capital. He said those bombs did not appear to be linked to the train blast.

The suitcase was found while the train was in a station, he said. Four people have been detained and were being questioned.
