“61 killed in multiple bombings in India”
By BILL ROGGIO

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “India has been hit with another coordinated bombing attack, this time in four districts in the eastern state of Assam. Sixty-one Indians were killed and more than 470 were wounded in the multiple blasts.

The bombs were detonated almost simultaneously around 11:30 local time today. Thirteen bombs were detonated in markets, a court office, and near the Assam state capital. The attacks, like previous attacks in India the past several years, were designed to maximize casualties.

Indian officials first pointed the finger at the United Liberation Front of Assam, a separatist movement in the state. UFLA has denied any involvement in the attack.

Police accused “jihadi” groups of conducting the strike.”

GREAT FALLS, Mont. - U.S. Border Patrol officers in Montana have arrested a Canadian man wanted on an Interpol warrant from India.

Raghbir Singh Virk was taken into custody last week at the border station in Sweet Grass. Customs officers say they were conducting a routine inspection of a commercial driver and his load of beef when they discovered a warrant for Virk from India.

The Interpol document alleges fraud and fraudulent activity.
