BREAKING: A court in India has sentenced to death 38 people for a series of bomb blasts in 2008 that left more than 50 dead and 200 wounded in the city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat state, which has a history of violent clashes between Hindus and Muslims.

It was the first time that so many accused have received death sentence in a single case in India. The sentence must be confirmed by a higher court.

A militant Islamic group called Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami claimed responsibility for the bombings. It was considered to be Pakistani-based but apparently is no longer active. The state has a history of tensions between Hindus and minority Muslims. It was the site of major violence in 2002 that left more than 1,000 people dead. It was triggered by a fire on a train packed with Hindu pilgrims that killed 60 passengers.

Tell the truth, Hindus have been slaughtering Muslims. Its not a 'both ways' thing. India is a Hindu Supremacist state and Modi follows a nazi based ideology.

Suspect charged in attack on bartender released from jail on own recognizanceA 38-year-old man suspected of slashing a Seattle bartender in the face in December has been released from jail on his own recognizance, according to court documents. You named everybody else involved. How come you didn't name the judge that let him go? And if documents revealed, why he didn't jail the accused? ChrisiDoo222 The bartender received 31 stitches in her face,yet the judge released this scumbag on his own recognizance is criminal in and of itself. The judge shld be disbarred.🤬 Why? Why would anyone do this & show such hatred for the citizens? How can this person be a judge? What is the point of having police? This dangerously ignorant 'judge' needs to be disbarred immediately!
