KOLKATA APRIL 5. One person was killed and seven were injured in bomb blasts and brickbatting in front of three mosques during Friday prayers at Chandernagore in West Bengal's Hooghly district.

Lathi-wielding policemen arrived on the scene and chased away the miscreants who hurled brickbats and bombs while retreating. One person, who was critically injured when a bomb he was carrying in his trouser pocket went off, died in hospital. Seven persons suffered minor injuries. — PTI
