GUWAHATI, India (Reuters) - A bomb exploded inside a temple in India's troubled northeastern state of Manipur on Wednesday, killing 3 people and injuring more than 30 others, police said.
The blast occurred during evening prayers to celebrate the birth of the Hindu god Krishna, one of the country's biggest festivals and a national holiday.
Police said at least 37 people were injured in the attack at the temple near Imphal, the state capital.
One of the militant groups fighting for a separate homeland in the state could be behind the attack, police said but added that no group had claimed responsibility.
The temple was run by ISKCON, the international Krishna consciousness movement, police said.
Manipur is part of India's remote and turbulent northeast region -- seven states which are home to more than two dozen armed separatist groups and over 200 tribal and ethnic communities.
At least a dozen guerrilla groups have been fighting Indian forces in Manipur for more than three decades.

There might be some mystery here. It could be a rival sect, Maoists, or the ever popular ROP.

I'm thinking more of Hindu Fundamentalists who hate other Hindus, Krishna's ,Buddhists and especially Christian Missionaries.

It could either be the UNLF (Meitei- Hindu) or their enemy ZRA (Kuki/Zomi-Christian) and I dont think Meiteis would bomb a Hindu Temple.

Neo Nazi's from Montana right? Yes, trained in hidden Amish terror camps in Northern Minnesota; and funded by bearded young Mennonite men mass purchasing cheap cell phones at Wal-Mart, for resale throughout the Middle West.
