NEW DELHI — A powerful explosion hit a crowded neighborhood in central New Delhi on Saturday and television reports said at least 10 people were feared killed. Minutes later, two more blasts shook the city, officials said.

Some 40 people were injured and hospitalized after the first blast in a market in the Paharganj neighborhood, according to the New Delhi Television station.

The market was filled with shoppers ahead of a major Hindu festival next week, fire officials said. The neighborhood also has several small, inexpensive hotels that are popular with foreign travelers, particularly backpackers.

All roads to the scene of the first explosion were sealed off by authorities.

Vir Singh, a spokesman for the city's fire department, confirmed explosions also hit the main market in Sarojini Nagar (search), a neighborhood in the southern part of the capital, as well as on a bus in the Govindpuri neighborhood.
Later reports suggest that the death toll is now at 30-31.

Just another day in the lives of terrorists.. and unfortunately, for the people on whom they prey.
