NEW DELHI (AP) - Two men were allowed to jump from a Pakistan-bound train shortly before it erupted in flames and killed 68 people, officials said Tuesday, releasing sketches of the men and raising questions about security along the India-Pakistan rail link.
The search for suspects came as Pakistan's foreign minister arrived in India saying the attack made peace talks between the longtime rivals even more urgent.
The two suspects, whose identities were not known, boarded the train when it left New Delhi on Sunday but quickly began arguing with the conductor, insisting they were on the wrong train. They were allowed to jump from the train as it slowed down about 15 minutes before the crude bombs detonated, setting off the fires, said Sharad Kumar, a senior police official.
