2007-12-14 |
GAUHATI: A bomb tore through a moving train in India's remote northeast Thursday, killing at least five passengers and injuring four others, an official said. The New Delhi bound super-fast Rajdhani Express, which started from the eastern town of Dibrugarh in Assam state had just crossed a station near Chungajan, 270 kilometers (170 miles) east of statecapital Gauhati when the bomb exploded. It jolted passengers out of their sleep, an Indian Railway spokesman told a foreign news agency. 'A car near the luggage van took the whole impact of the blast before dawn Thursday. Five passengers were killed and four others wounded,' he added. |
