Second bomb found at India shrine

Police investigating an explosion that killed two people and wounded 17 at an Indian temple found a second unexploded bomb today.

Pilgrims were still being questioned over yesterday's blast at the shrine of a 12th Century Muslim saint in the town of Ajmer.

It came as hundreds of men and women broke the daily fasts observed during Ramadan.

"Police and intelligence agencies are interrogating suspected people, even pilgrims of Bangladesh origin besides investigation by forensic and state crime branch experts," a police spokesman said.

India has routinely blamed Pakistani and Bangladeshi-based Islamic militants for a series of attacks that have rocked the country over the last two years, including several at mosques, saying they were trying to provoke violence between India's majority Hindus and minority Muslims.

However, little concrete proof has been provided in the past and both Pakistan and Bangladesh have denied any involvement.

The blasts immediately drew comparisons to the bombing in May of a mosque in the southern city of Hyderabad which killed 11 people.

Ajmer is predominantly Muslim but is surrounded by Hindu areas.
