India, 13 Sep 2008Police say at least eight people have been killed and
dozens of others injured by a series of blasts in India's capital, New
Delhi. Authorities say at least four explosions took place within
minutes of each other Saturday, in busy marketplaces throughout the
city. At least 50 people were wounded. The blasts occurred in three
different areas where weekend shoppers crowded the streets. Police also
defused at least two other bombs. Delhi's mayor, Arti Mehra, has
appealed for calm and asked residents to remain in their homes. An
Islamic militant group, Indian Mujahedeen, has claimed responsibility
for Saturday's attacks. The group has previously said it was behind a
series of explosions in the western state of Gujarat in July that killed
at least 45 people.
