At least seven people have been killed in two bomb blasts in India's north-eastern state of Assam, police say. The explosions happened within minutes in Nalbari, 70km (43 miles) from the state capital, Guwahati. The police suspect separatist militants from the United Liberation Front of Assam (Ulfa) carried out the blasts. No group has so far claimed responsibility Television images showed injured people being dragged away a fire caused by one explosion, minutes before another blast nearby. There were unconfirmed reports of a third blast in a nearby town less than an hour after the first two explosions. Police and paramilitary troops were deployed across Assam last week after the reported arrest of two Ulfa leaders prompted the group to enforce a 12-long strike across the state. It has been fighting for an independent homeland in north-east India since 1979. |

Coming in at the “Lessons” section of the community, the lessons that we have to learn are that we should avoid going to Assam at best and if even if we have to go, then, we should never go near bicycles.
But Neeta, what surprised me was the single sentence paragraph style of reporting, which is typically the BBC style.I think you owe to them a lot. But in our GRE and GMAT essay writing, we normally avoid such a body-building, lest it should look odd to read.
All the same, I do appreciate your initiative to participate, although the “Discussions” forum might have been more relevant, inviting people to discuss the menace of terrorism these days. because it will be an ideal topic for GRE, GMAT, SAT, IELTS, and TOEFL writing exercises.
