JAIPUR, India (AFP) — Indian police have arrested two men after eight near-simultaneous bombings killed 63 people and wounded 216 in the Rajasthan tourist city of Jaipur, the state's chief minister said Wednesday.
"We have arrested two people and have detained several (more) people for questioning," Vasundhara Raje told a press conference.
"We have information that 63 people have died and many are injured critically," she said after the blasts ripped through crowded markets on Tuesday night.
Seven women and 10 children were among the dead, Raje said.
"RDX and ammonium nitrate were used. Ball-bearings were used, which have weight, and they behave like tiny missiles. Timing devices were used," he said.
