> A child was killed and two others injured when a homemade explosive they had mistaken for a ball exploded in the West Bengal state of India, Malaysia Nanban reported.

Neighbours who heard the explosion rushed the victims to a hospital, but the child was declared dead, while two others were being treated.

The Bharatiya Janata Party, which is looking to topple the Congress-led government in the state, did not wait long to turn the issue into political mileage, blaming the Congress party for the explosion. However, a Congress spokesman said there was nothing political in the tragic incident, adding that it was being investigated.
