At least eight persons were killed and about 61 others injured in four explosions carried out by suspected United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants on April 6, reports Times of India. Two of the injured persons succumbed to their injury on April 7 (today) raising the death toll to 10. The militants carried out three blasts and mounted a grenade attack within five hours, adds The Hindu. The Director General of Police, G.M. Srivastava, said seven people were killed and 56 injured in a powerful blast in a crowded market in Guwahati’s Maligaon area at around 2 pm (IST). In the blast, four of the dead, including a minor girl, have been identified. The explosion sparked a fire that set ablaze two cars and 20 motorcycles and spread to a three-storey building housing the area police station. While six people were killed at the blast site, one died of injuries after jumping from an adjacent building which had caught fire. The bomb is suspected to have been hidden in a car or a motorcycle parked adjacent to the North-East Frontier Railway headquarters. “This is the handiwork of ULFA boys ahead of the outfit’s Raising Day” Srivastava said, adding the militants used hi-tech explosives. A bomb was set off by unidentified militants in the Santipur area near Bokajan in Karbi Anglong District earlier in the day. Suspected ULFA militants also set off a bicycle bomb explosion at Dhekiajuli in Sonitpur District later. Four people were injured, one of them seriously, in this incident. According to an unconfirmed report, he later died of his injuries. In addition, an unidentified militant lobbed a hand grenade at Mankachar Police station in Dhubri district, killing a Police driver and injuring another.
