At least 66 killed in India train bomb blast
British government condemns 'shameful act'

At least 66 people are dead following a bomb blast on a train in India. Two homemade devices exploded on the service, bound for Lahore in Pakistan.

Survivors were pulled out of the carriage windows. Authorities said suitcases packed with unexploded crude bombs and bottles of petrol were found in cars not hit in the attack, leading them to suspect the fire was set off by an identical explosive device.

"This is an act of sabotage," Railway Minister Laloo Prasad told reporters in Patna, India. "This is an attempt to derail the improving relationship between India and Pakistan."

Passengers said they heard two blasts as the train passed near Panipat, about 50 miles north of Delhi.

The train, the Samjhauta Express, takes passengers from Delhi to Lahore in Pakistan. Many of the casualties have been taken to hospital in New Dehli.

The British government condemned the attack as a "shameful act".

"I was shocked to learn of the devastating loss of life on the Samjhauta Express. I extend my condolences to the family and friends of those killed and injured and condemn utterly this shameful act," Foreign Office Minister Kim Howells said.

"I would also like to offer the Governments of India and Pakistan whatever assistance they require, to bring to justice the perpetrators of this brutal attack," Howells said in a brief government statement.
