Another suspect arrested in Delhi bombings
 NEW DELHI: Indian police arrested a man suspected of taking part in bombings that tore through two markets in New Delhi last month, a news report said on Friday, a day after officials acknowledged that another suspect being held may have lied about planting one of the bombs.The arrest, reported by the Press Trust of India news agency, could provide a boost to the investigation into the attacks, which until now has made little headway in tracking down the assailants, widely believed to be Islamic militants fighting to wrest Kashmir from India. Indian police launched their biggest-ever manhunt following the October 29 bombings, which targeted two markets and a bus and killed 60 people. The suspect, who was not identified, was picked up at the New Delhi Railway Station early on Friday, the PTI reported, citing a senior police official. Police officials were not immediately available for comment. The official reportedly told PTI that investigators were now tracking down associates of the suspect, who is also alleged to have taken part in a July 5 bombing of a makeshift Hindu temple in the northern Indian city of Ayodhya.
