India's CNN-IBN television news, which had a reporter traveling on the train, said the blast took place in a first-class car as the train was moving, ripping through the compartment and killing more than a dozen people.

Another CNN-IBN reporter said he had seen more than 20 bodies at one Bombay hospital.

Earlier in the day, a series of grenade attacks diirected mainly at tourists in Srinagar, India, killed 7 people and wounded many others.

Suspected Islamist militants killed seven people, six of them tourists, on Tuesday in a series of grenade attacks in Srinagar, police said, the most concerted targeting of civilians in months.

In the bloodiest strike, a grenade was thrown inside a bus in Srinagar, near the city's famous mountain-ringed Dal Lake, killing the six holidaymakers and wounding seven. Four other people were also hurt.

Yet another X-11 attack.

Allahpundit is providing ongoing updates.

Update:  Express India reports that Mohammad Afzal, a suspected perpetrator of the Srinagar attacks who allegedly hurled a grenade onto a bus, injuring ten people, was apprehended by bystanders and turned over to police.

Update:  Allahpundit notes that New York City has elevated its transit security in response.

"We're increasing our police presence, both uniformed and plainclothes, and taking the steps necessary to secure the system," said MTA spokesman Tom Kelly.

He said the beefed up security will be applied at all MTA locations, including the LIRR, Metro-North, Grand Central Terminal, Pennsylvania Station, plus all MTA-run bridges and tunnels leading in and out of the city.
