India rounds up 350 in relation to train bombings

Indian police have rounded up about 350 people in connection with the Mumbai train bombings amid suspicion that Kashmiri militants could be linked to the attacks that killed at least 200 people.

Most of the detentions were made overnight in Malwani, a north-eastern suburb of Mumbai, police Inspector S Goshal said today. He said none had been formally arrested or charged and were rounded up only for questioning over Tuesday’s serial bombings.
