Explosion at Market in India Kills Six

There was an explosion at a roadwide pig market in India's northeast and it killed six people and injured 40. They said the blast occurred Sunday afternoon in Kumarikata in the state of Assam near the Bhutan border. About 20 of the victims were injured critically.

This is under investigation and they will not speculate as to who was behind it. However, militant separatists have set off bombs in the region in the past. Several rebel groups are fighting for autonomy or independence in India's northeast.

The militants say India's national government exploits the region's rich natural resources but does little for the area's indigenous people. Most of the people are ethnically closer to people in Myanmar and China than the rest of India.
