An Indian journalist has been arrested in connection with last month’s bombing of an Israeli diplomatic vehicle in New Delhi, authorities said today.

An Indian judge has accepted the confession of the lone surviving gunman from last November’s shootings in Mumbai, but said today that the trial would proceed anyway.

The only surviving gunman from the Mumbai massacre is to undergo medical tests to determine his age after he claimed to have been a minor at the time of the assault, which would allow him to escape the death penalty.

The trial of the only surviving gunman from the Mumbai massacre began today with the prosecutor calling the attacks “a criminal conspiracy hatched in Pakistan to attack India”.

An express train crowded with holiday travellers derailed in Pakistan early today and many have died, a relief worker said.
