Pakistan Points Finger at India Over Suicide Blast

Pakistan blamed India-backed militants for a suicide bombing that killed 12 people in Islamabad on Tuesday, raising the prospect of renewed tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals, as India’s prime minister vowed to hunt down the perpetrators of a car explosion in New Delhi the day before.

A blast on Monday near a metro station by New Delhi’s historic Red Fort set several nearby cars on fire, killed eight and injured at least 20 others, Indian police said. The car had three or four passengers, all of whom died in the explosion, said police, who haven’t determined the cause of the blast.
