印度爆炸丧生人数升至16人

India\'s home minister says the government will "make all efforts" to apprehend those responsible for the blasts in Hyderabad that killed 16 people and wounded more than 100.

Sushil Kumar Shinde told parliament Friday "the perpetrators and masterminds" behind the explosions will be "punished as per the law."

Earlier Friday, Shinde told reporters there had been a general alert for the entire country for the past three days about the possibility of an attack somewhere in India.  But he said there was no intelligence about a specific place. 

Indian police say they were warned a year ago about a possible attack in Hyderabad.

Police officials said Friday two suspected militants belonging to the Indian Mujahideen revealed during an interrogation last year that they had done a reconnaissance of the Dil Sukh district of Hyderabad, the same area where the blasts occurred minutes apart Thursday evening.  Officials say the bombs were attached to two bicycles about 150 meters apart.

There has been no claim of responsibility.

辛德星期五对议会说，这次爆炸的凶手和策划者将受到法律制裁。

星期五早些时候，辛德对记者说，三天来向全国发出了可能在印度某个地方发生爆炸的一般性的警报，但是当局没有得到关于可能发生爆炸的地点的情报。

印度警方说，他们在一年前就接到可能在海德拉巴发生爆炸的警告。

警方星期五说，隶属印度圣战者组织的两名激进分子去年在审讯中交待，他们到海德拉巴的迪尔萨克区进行了踩点。踩点的地方就是星期四当地时间傍晚数分钟内相继发生爆炸的地点。有关官员说，炸弹放在两辆相隔大约150米的自行车上。

目前没有人宣称对爆炸事件负责。
