VIDEO: India high court blast in Delhi kills nine

September 7, 2011 10:59 am

At least nine people have been killed and 45 injured in an explosion outside the high court in the Indian capital, Delhi, officials say.

Television images showed lawyers and judges running from one of the gates of the building. Police cordoned off the area, not far from parliament and the prime minister’s office.

Police declined to comment on whether the blast was a bomb attack. Several ambulances and fire trucks were on their way to the court.

No further details were immediately available.

In May, a low-intensity blast outside the same court triggered panic but injured no one, Reuters reports.
