Hyderabad bombings kill 13
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Top News: *The southern Indian city of Hyderabad was hit [1] on Thursday by  
a double bombing that killed at least 13 people in a busy shopping area. The  
bombs were planted on bicycles and detonated about ten minutes apart. On  
Twitter, Prime Minister Manmohan Sing wrote, "This is a dastardly attack, the  
guilty will not go unpunished." It was India's first major terrorist bombing  
since 2011.

The Associated Press reports [2] that police are focusing on a group known as  
the Indian Mujahideen, which is thought to have links with militants in  
neighboring Pakistan. The Pakistani foreign ministry also condemned the  
attack.

The blasts came two days [3] after government security agencies sent out an  
advisory urging states to tighten security in the wake of the recent  
executions of convicted terrorists Ajmal Kasab and Mohammed Afzal Guru. Kasab  
had been the long surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attack while Guru, a  
Kashmiri, was convicted of playing a role in the 2001 attack on Parliament
