66 Die in Train Bombing in India

HeadlineFeb 19, 2007

A bombing in India has killed at least 66 people aboard a train bound for Pakistan. The attack came on the eve of peace talks between the two countries. Most of the victims were Pakistani. Indian officials said explosives were found in two suitcases.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri: “The timing is very, very — I suppose, it’s indicative of the minds of those who’ve done it. I’ll be leaving tomorrow for Delhi to further the peace process. I don’t think governments of India and Pakistan would, or definitely should not, allow this incident to or the perpetrators of the incident to achieve their objectives.”
