Three hurt in Delhi mosque blast
 At least three people have been injured in two explosions inside the Jama Masjid (Grand Mosque) in the Indian capital, Delhi, police say. The chief cleric of the mosque, Imam Bukhari, told the BBC that the blasts occurred inside the complex . It is not clear what caused the blasts which came shortly after Friday prayers, mosque officials say.
"The blasts took place near a water tank used by worshippers," a mosque official, Mr Amanullah, told the BBC. He said that most worshippers were inside the mosque and not by the tank when the blasts took place. The Jama Masjid is located in Delhi's old city which is mainly populated by Muslims and has a history of religious tension. Imam Bukhari has issued a public appeal asking for people to remain calm.
