More bombs in Indian churches
Police in India say there have been more bomb attacks against churches in the south of the country. In the latest explosion, two people were injured near a church in Gulbarga in the state of Karnataka. Christian groups said the attack is part of a sustained campaign against them. Earlier in the day, police in the neighbouring state of Andhra Pradesh said that bombs exploded at two churches hundreds of kilometres apart. Two church workers suffered minor injuries in one blast in Prakasham district , three-hundred-and-fity kilometres south of the state capital, Hyderabad. No-one was injured in the other blast, in the district of West Godavari , four-hundred-and-fifty kilometres north of Hyderabad. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
