“Three killed in Assam train blast”
By Subir Bhaumik
BBC News, Calcutta
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A bomb has exploded in a passenger train in India’s north-eastern state of Assam, killing at least three people.
Assam police chief GM Srivastava told the BBC that 23 other passengers had been injured, some of them seriously.
The train was travelling from Lumding railway station in Lower Assam to Tinsukia in Upper Assam.
The blast took place when the train has halted at the Diphu station in the hill district of Karbi Anglong for a scheduled stop.
Assam has a number of insurgent groups and these groups have a history of attacking the railways as they provide an easy target.”
