More Mumbai bombs found at station
Police found explosives which were left over from last week’s attacks hidden in a bag in Mumbai’s main train station today.
While searching 150 bags at the station, police found one that looked suspicious and called the bomb squad. They found two four kilogram bombs inside and defused them.
The find came as Indian authorities faced a growing wave of criticism about intelligence failures and bungled security that let 10 gunmen terrorise India’s largest city for 60 hours, killing at least 171 people.
It was not immediately clear why the bombs had not been found earlier.
Authorities reopened Chhatrapati Shivaji train station and declared it safe last Thursday morning, hours after the gunmen sprayed it with gunfire in one of their first attacks.
