Bomb hits India market shoppers
Source: BBC

A bomb blast at a market in India's capital has killed one person and injured at least 15 others.

The market, in the Mehrauli area, was packed with shoppers when, according to eyewitnesses, two men drove up in a motorcycle and dropped a package.

Police have described it as a low intensity explosive device.

Two weeks ago, five bombs ripped through busy shopping areas in Delhi, killing at least 20 people. Nearly 50 were killed in Ahmadabad in July.

Police say they have arrested the head of a group claiming the attacks.

The one person killed was a 13 year old boy.

5. his head was blown off trying to hand back "the package" that fell off the motorcycle
New Delhi: A 13-year-old boy had his head blown off when a bomb dropped by two young men from a motorcycle exploded in a crowded market in the Mehrauli area

Police said the dead boy, Santosh Kumar, picked up the bomb concealed in a lunch box and wrapped in a black polythene bag and tried handing it back to the motorcycle riders, thinking they had dropped the packet by mistake. As the bomb began emitting smoke, the frightened child dropped it ...

The UPA Government's mindset has always been that increasing human resources leads to unproductive expenses. However, it is this unproductive mindset that is now helping terror come home to roost and forcing the Government to realise that it's time to put its money where its mouth is.

6. India is facing Kashmirs folk who hate their rule.....
India must exercise better administration in Kashmir if they want to avoid such horrid attacks in their shores. Sadly, Indian soldiers in Kashmir are undisciplined and have been accused of torture, rape and horrific human rights violations by the human rights watch. Violence triggers violence!
