VOA标准英语2008年-More Deadly Bomb Blasts Rock India
时间：2019-01-13 作者：英语课 分类：VOA标准英语2008年（七月）
A day after serial 1 bombings in India's high-tech 2 hub, Bangalore, there have been numerous blasts in Ahmedabad, western India's commercial and cultural capital. Authorities report at least 29 people are dead and more than 100 injured there following 16 separate explosions in and around the capital of the state of Gujarat. VOA correspondent Steve Herman reports from New Delhi.
As investigators 3 in Bangalore were seeking clues amid the debris 4 from a series of low intensity 5 explosions there, a similar group of blasts hit another Indian city Saturday evening.
The latest target: the capital of the state of Gujarat. While only one person died in the Bangalore bombings, the number of dead and injured in Ahmedabad is much higher. Authorities say the explosive devices were placed in lunch canisters on bicycles which were parked at crowded markets. One bomb also exploded at a trauma 6 center where some of the injured had been taken.
Television stations say just before the first blast in Ahmedabad they had received a 14-page long e-mail warning of an attack from a group calling itself "Indian Mujahedin." The little-known group has previously 7 claimed responsibility for bomb blasts in other cities.
Home Minister Shivraj Patil says whatever resources are needed to render aid and investigate the attacks will be committed.
The cabinet minister says whether it is Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore or Ahmedabad the government will not play the blame game because to do that will not help the people.
His comments are a reference to the finger-pointing between the national and state governments over accusations 8 they are not doing enough to prevent such attacks.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has called for Indians to "maintain communal 9 harmony." The fear is if radical 10 Islamic groups are blamed for the bomb blasts that Hindu activists 11 may attack minority Muslims in retaliation 12.
Gujarat is especially sensitive because six years ago more than 1,000 people died there during rioting between Hindus and Muslims which threw the entire state into chaos 13 for weeks.
