#3 Indian bomb disposal experts have found traces of a high explosive in a passenger train which was rocked by a blast on Thursday, officials say. At least 10 people were killed and more than 50 others injured in the explosion on the Shramjivi Express in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. Traces of the high explosive RDX have been found in the compartment where the blast occurred. A senior Jaunpur police official Devraj Nagar told Reuters they were investigating whether the blast was the work of militants. "The nature of the blasts suggests the use of RDX explosive. A terrorist hand cannot be ruled out," he said.
A BBC correspondent in India says police are also investigating the possibility of any connection with an attack on the disputed religious site in the northern town of Ayodhya earlier this month. The police say similar explosives were used in the Ayodhya attack, which was blamed on Muslim militants.

#6 What group? India has so many to choose from. I am hoping that the Jihadi get India in a fully pissed off mode. That will put more pressure on Pakistan to clean up it's act of harboring and fostering terrorist jihadi who have a goal of claiming all of India for the "Caliphate" just like the "good old days." The alternative for Pakistan is total annihilation.
