Mumbai blasts 2006: India court finds 12 men guilty | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A court in India's western Mumbai city has found 12 men guilty for their roles in the 2006 bombings of commuter trains. | |
The 12 men were accused of waging war against the nation, conspiracy and murder. One man was acquitted. | |
The bombings on 11 July 2006 killed 189 people and injured more than 800. | |
India accused Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba of carrying out the blasts, an allegation which was denied by Pakistan. | |
Some of the guilty could face the death penalty, and their sentences are likely to be announced next week. | |
"We are going to pray for the strictest punishment [for the guilty]," public prosecutor Raja Thakre told reporters. | |
Seven blasts ripped through trains in the evening rush hour on 11 July 2006. | |
The bombs were packed into seven pressure cookers and put in bags. The co-ordinated explosions were detonated within 15 minutes of each other. | |
The blasts took place in the areas of Matunga, Khar, Mahim, Jogeshwari, Borivali and Bhayandar, with most on moving trains and two at stations. |
