Blast in Assam bus kills 7
By Sushanta Talukdar
GUWAHATI,
JUNE 24.
Seven passengers were killed and 18 others injured in a bomb blast in a bus in upper Assam's Sivasagar district this morning.
Police suspect the banned United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), to be behind it.
As soon as the bus reached Majgaon area under Mathurapur police station, a powerful blast ripped apart the bus killing four passengers, including a woman on the spot, and injuring 18 others. While one passenger died at Sonari Civil Hospital, two others died on way to the Assam Medical College Hospital (AMCH) in neighbouring Dibrugarh district. Seven of the critically injured passengers were admitted to the AMCH.
Police were still trying to ascertain if the blast occurred inside the bus or an explosive device had been planted on the road. A gas cylinder carried by one of the passengers could have added to the intensity to the blast. This was the sixth blast in a fortnight in the upper Assam districts of Tinsukia, Dibruagarh and Sivasagar.
