[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Indian bomb disposal experts cordoned off a busy flower market in the capital New Delhi Friday after finding an improvised bomb left in an abandoned bag, police said. "The site is under a police cordon and we have recovered an IED (Improvised Explosive Device)," a police officer told AFP. "Everything else including who left the bag there and the kind of explosive inside the bag is a matter of investigation." Police commissioner Rakesh Asthana told the NDTV news channel the bag was left behind by a customer who visited a shop to buy flowers at the Ghazipur wholesale flower market. Media reports said police carried out a controlled explosion. |

#1 It was set to go off just before noon, when the market gets busy. RDX and ammonium nitrate, a crude timer device. There was this hindu festival in which flowers are used in huge quantities, so the targets were the poor folks who'd head out there to buy flowers and ... heatheny stuff. Typical moslemnity of the Asian variety. |
