 DEWANA, India (AP) - Leaders of India and Pakistan pressed ahead Monday with their peace process, hours after twin bombs — apparently intended to disrupt their relations — sparked a fire that killed 67 people aboard a train that links the two rivals.
The fire destroyed two coaches on the Samjhauta Express, about an hour after the train left New Delhi on its way to the Pakistan border. Officials said the attack was timed ahead of the arrival of Pakistani Foreign Minister Khursheed Kasuri, who was expected Tuesday in the Indian capital.
"This is an attempt to derail the improving relationship between India and Pakistan," Railway Minister Laloo Prasad told reporters.
