Small explosive found on Indian train

Thursday, 10 August 2017 16:00

A low-intensity explosive was found on board a train in India.

The bomb was discovered on a service bound for Amristar and was dealt with by security personnel at the Amethi railway station in the Utter Pradesh region.

A threat letter was also uncovered and is alleged to have been issued as retribution for the killing of Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Abu Dujana. He was killed earlier this month in an operation in Jammu and Kashmir.

The incident comes days before the 70^th anniversary of independence.
