A bomb in a crowded bakery popular with foreigners, killed nine people and wounded 57 in western India Saturday evening. The explosion was caused by a bomb left in an unattended bag. The blast ripped open the German Bakery in the city of Pune, 125 miles (200 kilometers) southeast of Mumbai. One foreigner was among the dead, but his nationality was not immediately known, Home Secretary G.K. Pillai said, adding the three victims identified so far were Indians. Pillai also said four Iranians, two Sudanese, one Taiwanese, one German and two Nepalese were among the wounded, according to a report of the Associated Press. Six people died at the scene and three later succumbed to injuries at hospitals, he said. Of the 57 wounded, 19 were released from medical facilities. India's Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram visited the bakery Sunday and also visited the wounded in hospitals. He told reporters forensic experts were trying to determine what explosives were used and how the bomb was triggered. Security forces were put on high alert Sunday at airports, train stations and markets across the country.
