A BOMB planted under a bridge in Bihar state in India killed eight civilians yesterday, a day after police found the crude device but left it under sandbags until it could be defused. Another bomb blamed on suspected rebels killed the eastern Indian state's top disposal expert and a soldier as they were trying to dismantle it.
The bomb planted under the bridge by suspected rebels had been found on Saturday but could not be defused immediately, said Neelmani, a top police officer.
The area was cordoned and the bomb placed under sandbags. But yesterday, teenage boys and men pulled the bomb out from under the sandbags and "fiddled" with it, Neelmani said.
All five teenagers and three men were killed, and two injured men were hospitalized.
It happened in Pachokhar village in Aurangabad district of Bihar state. Neelmani also blamed suspected rebels for a bomb that exploded in the adjoining Gaya district on Saturday, killing Bihar's leading explosive disposal expert and a paramilitary soldier as they tried to defuse the bomb.
Aurangabad and Gaya districts held state legislative polls on Saturday. Over 50 percent of voters voted, defying a boycott called by the rebels.
The rebels have been fighting for more than three decades in several Indian states, demanding land and jobs for agricultural laborers and the poor.
