BOMBAY, India (AP) - A bomb exploded in a mosque in the western Indian state of Maharashtra during Friday prayers, injuring at least seven people, local police said.
The explosion occurred inside a mosque in Parbhani, a small town 345 miles east of Bombay, India's financial center and capital of Maharashtra state.
``The explosion occurred immediately after three men on motorcycles threw what looked like a packet into the mosque,'' said Alok Joshi, a police inspector in Parbhani. ``It was a small explosion.''
