Islamic militants accused of temple and rail bombings

Indian investigators believe one of Kashmir’s most notorious Islamic militant groups planted bombs that killed 20 people at a temple and train station in Hinduism’s holiest city, police said today.

A senior police official also said a Kashmiri militant killed by officers in northern India hours after Tuesday’s bombings was suspected of masterminding the attack on a temple and train station in Varanasi, a city famed for its shrines on the banks of the holy Ganges River.
