India Arrests Dozens In Bombings That Killed 45
An obscure Islamic group claimed responsibility for a series of synchronized explosions that killed at least 45 and injured 161 people in western India, warning of "the terror of Death" in an email sent to several television stations minutes before the blasts. The email's subject line said "Await 5 minutes for the revenge of Gujarat," an apparent reference to 2002 riots in the western state which left 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, dead.
