The Largest Democracy Under Attack
Oct 29, 2005
A series of explosions shook New Delhi on Saturday, tearing through markets jammed with shoppers ahead of an upcoming Hindu festival and killing at least 49 people, officials said.
It doesn't seem like it was fireworks.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urged people to remain calm and said in a statement that “India will win the battle against terrorism.” The statement was read on CNN by one of his top advisers, Sanjaya Baru, who said the explosions were the work of terrorists, but did not say who the government thought was behind them.
