Reportedly, a bomb blast at around 7.30 am in the morning near a mosque in the busy Machkhowa market place of Guwahati. The explosion was so powerful that it leaves five persons dead on the spot including two children. Another twenty are injured and have been rushed to the nearby Guwahati Medical College Hospital hospital.

According to police officials, the bomb was concealed in a cycle that was parked near the mosque. Police report has confirmed the hand of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) as they are constantly involved in such attacks in the past.

Security has been tightened across the state following the attack and extra security measures have taken at the Indira Gandhi Athletics Stadium where the Asian Athletics Grand Prix is scheduled to start from today.

Even though, the government of India has banned ULFA as a terrorist organization but considering itself as a revolutionary terrorist organization the militant outfit is fighting for an independent Assam state.

ULFA is constantly attacking non-Assamese especially Hindi speaking people and have exploded more than 25 bombs from January of this year that have killed over hundred civilians. Though the central government has been taking various measures but that has so far no effective result in the state.
