| GUWAHATI: A powerful explosion at a busy market killed one person and wounded 12, four of them critically, in India’s revolt-hit northeast, police said Saturday. Police blamed the blast on the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), a rebel group fighting for an independent homeland since 1979. “The bomb was probably planted in a van parked near a multi-purpose market. Most of the victims were pedestrians, shoppers, and vendors,” deputy police chief Rajen Singh told AFP in Guwahati, the main city in Assam state. Police said a few shops were gutted in the blast. |
