Pilgrims questioned after shrine blast

Police were questioning Indian and Bangladeshi pilgrims today after a blast at a venerated Muslim shrine in northern India killed two people and wounded 17 others, police and media reports said.

The blast, which targeted the shrine of a 12th Century Sufi saint in the town of Ajmer, took place just after dusk on Thursday as hundreds of men and women broke the daily fasts they observe during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
