| 2011-03-15 |
[Dawn] At least three people including a regional leader of India's ruling Congress were hurt Monday when a grenade went kaboom!at local party headquarters in the northeastern city of Guwahati. Person or persons unknown hurled the hand grenade inside the office of the regional chapter of India's ruling party, witnesses said. The building was packed with supporters at the time. Among those injured were Congress general secretary Ranjan Bora and the party's local front man Mehdi Alam Bora. A Congress government administers Assam, of which Guwahati is the largest city. No one has grabbed credit for the attack, police said. Some 30-odd bully boy groups are active in the tea- and oil-rich state, where some outfits are battling for independent homelands for ethnic Assamese. |
