Hatred Fails To Derail Friendship Express
Terrorists bombed the Friendship Express, a new train service between Pakistan and India commemorating their peace treaties, killing 64 and wounding many more. Two blasts tore through two passenger cars, leaving a trail of destruction:
Explosions aboard an Indian passenger train bound for Pakistan killed at least 64 people and wounded 50 early Monday, and explosive devices have been found, according to railway officials.Two blasts ripped through two passenger coaches, as the Samjhauta Express passed through Panipat, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of New Delhi, said Northern Rail spokesman Rakesh Saxena.
Three unexploded bombs were found near the train tracks, Saxena said.
The train eventually continued to Pakistan without the two destroyed cars. The bombers may have killed dozens of people, but they could not stop the Friendship Express. With any luck, this will serve as an analogy for the entire war on terror.
