Explosions In Southern India Kill Dozens, Injure At Least 50
August 25, 2007
At least 37 people have been killed and 50 others injured in two powerful blasts in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad. Anjana Pasricha reports from New Delhi that senior officials are calling it a terrorist attack.
Police say the blasts ripped through a roadside food stall and an amusement park in Hyderabad within minutes of each other.
Hundreds of people were at the two popular spots.
A laser show was going on in the amusement park when the explosion ripped through it.
People who escaped the attack say seats were hurled high into the air by the force of the blast.
And the food stall was completely destroyed.
The chief minister of the state, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, called the blasts a terrorist attack, and he urged people to remain calm.
The Andhra Pradesh Home Secretary, K. Jana Reddy said it was one of the worst attacks in the city. “It is a very sad and bad incident in the history of Hyderabad. My government condemns it vehemently,” he said.
Indian Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta said it is too early to say who was responsible. “Whatever has happened needs to be condemned and looked at and dealt with all the seriousness that is called for. All further enquiries and so on will be made,” he said.
Police say they later found two unexploded bombs at other spots in the city.
Hyderabad is one of India’s biggest cities and a key information technology hub.
It has a large Muslim population, and a history of communal clashes between Hindus and Muslims.
However Saturday’s blasts went off at spots frequented by both Hindus and Muslims. This is the second time the city has been hit by terrorists. In May this year, 11 people were killed in a bombing at a mosque.
Other Indian cities have also witnessed similar attacks. The worst took place in Mumbai last year when a series of bombs ripped through the city’s commuter train network, killing about 200 people.
Police and security experts have blamed past attacks on Pakistan-based Islamic militant groups.

Retailer: PS3 Deal Is Best On The Market
August 25, 2007
There’s another perk to this upcoming weekend if you’re not one of the lucky souls who get off on Monday — PS3 is going to be selling for a record low at a large retailer. For a mere £375, you can get a PS3, two games, Blu-Ray discs and an extra controller at Woolworths this weekend. You can’t beat that kind of deal with a stick.
“We expect it to be a massive weekend for games and console sales”, said Woolworths games buyer Alastair Burks.
“Competition is intense in the games market and all the big retailers are cutting prices and offering deals to try and stay ahead of the game. We believe our PlayStation 3 deal is the best in the market and expect it to be phenomenally popular. This summer’s indifferent weather has meant shoppers turning to indoor pursuits instead of going to the beach or a barbecue. As a result games sales at Woolworths have hit record levels for this time of year.”
The PlayStation 3 console regularly retailers for £425, and that’s without all the bundled items. Both the 20GB 360 and Wii retail for £175.
