Hyderabad 'Terror Attack': Multiple Deaths

At least 11 people have been killed and dozens others are missing after two blasts in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad.

The blasts were about 10 minutes apart and took place in the early evening - the first going off just after 7pm local time.

The blasts happened near a cafe, cinema and a bus station in the busy district of Dilsukh Nagar.

Dozens have been rushed to hospital with injuries, a police spokesman said.

The bombs were attached to two bicycles about 500 ft apart, home minister Sushilkumar Shinde said.

Mahesh Kumar, a 21-year-old student, was heading home when a bomb went off.

"I heard a huge sound and something hit me, I fell down, and somebody brought me to the hospital," said the student who suffered shrapnel wounds.

Hyderabad, India's fourth most populous city of 6.8 million people, is a hub of India's information technology industry and has a mixed population of Muslims and Hindus.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wrote on Twitter: "This is a dastardly attack, the guilty will not go unpunished.

"I appeal to the public to remain calm and maintain peace."

India has been in a state of alert since Mohammed Afzal Guru, a Kashmiri, was hanged in a New Delhi jail nearly two weeks ago.

Guru had been convicted of involvement in a 2001 attack on India's parliament that killed 14 people including five gunmen.

Many in Indian-ruled Kashmir do not believe Guru received a fair trial, and the secrecy with which the execution was carried out has fuelled anger in a region where anti-India sentiment runs deep.

India's other cities are now on high alert.

Police are working on the theory that the explosions are "the work of a professional terror group".

The last major bomb attack in India was a September 2011 blast outside the high court in New Delhi that killed 13 people.
