Three killed in VCR 'bomb' blast

Three people died and 28 were injured when a powerful blast rocked a busy market in India’s portion of Kashmir today.

Explosives were hidden inside a video cassette recorder, which apparently contained a timed device, and had allegedly been taken for repairs to an electronic shop in Rajauri town, 110 miles north-west of Jammu, the winter capital of Indian Kashmir, a police officer said.
