20 feared killed in India train fire

NEW DELHI, India (AP) -- Twenty passengers were feared killed when two coaches of a train traveling to Pakistan caught fire early Monday in northern India, a news report said.

An explosion was believed to have caused the fire, which engulfed two coaches of the Samjhauta Express, the only train link between rival India and Pakistan, the Press Trust of India news agency said. The fire occurred near Deewana, a railroad station about 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of New Delhi, it said.

The train was traveling from New Delhi to Atari, the last railroad station before the land border with Pakistan, PTI said.
