Newsvine - Official: Bomb blast kills 2, wounds 30 in India: "An Indian official says a bomb blast in a train has killed at least two people and wounded 30 in India's insurgency-hit northeast.
District Magistrate M.C. Sahu says the blast occurred Tuesday morning in one of the coaches just after the train arrived at Diphu railroad station, about 200 miles (300 kilometers) south of Gauhati, the capital of Assam state.
