At least 11 people died and over 76 were wounded in a bomb blast outside Delhi High Court today. The explosive device is thought to have been in a briefcase outside the High Court complex between Gate No. 4 and 5. It exploded while hundreds of litigants were waiting to get passes to enter the premises.
Union Home Secretary R K Singh said the blast was of "medium to high intensity" and created a "deep crater". Asked whether the blast was a terrorist attack, Singh said "it had all the makings of an improvised explosive device set up by a terror group."Update: Headline and link changed from " ... kills four" [previous link] @ 11:00 |
