Train Blasts in India

ABC News is reporting 53 dead, while CNN is reporting at least 64 dead after explosives detonated on a train traveling to Pakistan early Monday morning from Inda's capital. The blasts happened in two passenger cars, and three unexploded bombs were found in other passenger cars said a spokesman for Northern Rail.

What is very interesting is at this point ABC News is saying that the train caught fire, and nowhere in the entire article are explosives mentioned. Insted, the article details local residents rushing to the scene of the disaster with buckets of water.
