Foreigners linked to New Delhi bombings

INDIAN Prime Minister Manmohan Singh yesterday told Pakistan’s president there were indications of a foreign link to the bombings that struck two New Delhi markets, and reminded the Pakistani leader of his country’s promise to fight terrorism, an official said.

Pakistan's President General Pervez Musharraf condemned Saturday's bombings that killed 59 people in India as "a dastardly terrorist attack", and said Pakistan would fully co-operate in any investigation.

Pakistan-based Islamic militants have been suspected in the bombings, but Indian officials appeared hesitant to immediately place blame.
