Police patrol city after Indian mosque bombing

Hundreds of police in riot gear were on duty today throughout the mostly deserted streets of Hyderabad, hoping to prevent anger over a mosque bombing from sparking more of the religious violence that has plagued the southern Indian city.

Most shops closed for a day-long strike in protest at Friday’s attack at the 17th-century Mecca mosque that killed 11 people, and the ensuing clashes with police that left five more dead.
