BANGALORE, India, Saturday (Reuters) - Indian police have few leads into the eight bombings in quick succession across the south Indian IT city of Bangalore that killed a woman and wounded at least six people on Friday, officials said.
An unexploded bomb was found near a shopping mall in Bangalore today, but it was unclear whether the bomb was newly planted or meant to have exploded during Friday's attacks, police said.
“Special squads have been formed to find out who is behind the blasts. We have not got any conclusive leads yet,” Bangalore's Additional Commissioner of Police M.R. Pujar told Reuters today.
India has suffered a wave of bombings in recent years, with targets ranging from mosques and Hindu temples to trains. It is unusual for any group to claim responsibility for attacks.
India's home ministry said on Friday it suspected “a small militant group” was behind the attacks, but gave no details. |
