Two convicted in Hyderabad twin blast case

Tuesday, 4 September 2018 16:00

An Indian court has convicted two men in the case of twin blasts in the city of Hyderabad in 2007.

At least 42 people were killed and more than 60 wounded in explosions at a restaurant and an open-air auditorium.

Five men, who were accused of playing a role in the blasts, were arrested by an anti-terrorism squad in 2008. Only two of them were convicted today (4 September) while two others were acquitted.

The Indian Mujahideen - an outlawed Islamist militant group - has been blamed for the attacks.
