Hundreds riot after 58 die in Indian train attack
Hundreds of rioters have rampaged through the Indian city of Ahmedabad after a mob of angry Muslims set fire to a train carrying Hindu activists 95 miles away in Godhra yesterday.
It was unclear whether the rioters were Hindus or Muslims.
The mobs blocked roads, started fires and looted shops as outnumbered police stood back and watched.
Members of the crowd also told journalists to leave and stop taking pictures.
Fifty-eight people died yesterday when a crowd of Muslims, angered by Hindu nationalists who did not pay food sellers, burned a train carrying activists campaigning for the construction of a Hindu temple on the site of a mosque demolished in controversial circumstances 10 years ago.
The incident happened in the state of Gujarat, which has a 30% Muslim population a long history of sectarian violence.
