Imphal: A powerful bomb, suspectedly planted
by militants to attack security personnel, exploded in Imphal
West district, police said on Saturday.
The bomb went off at a roadside at Thouda Bhabok on
Airport Road last night but no one was injured, they said
adding that it might be the handiwork of militants to attack
security personnel passing through the area.
Security and police forces were deployed heavily in view
of the boycott call for the Republic Day celebrations by some
insurgent organisations.
No individual or group has claimed responsibility for the
attack so far.
