One held for India-Pakistan train blasts: report

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - One person was detained in connection with the twin blasts aboard a train bound for Pakistan that killed at least 66 passengers on Monday, India's railway minister said.

Two coaches of the Samjhauta Express train, which connects New Delhi to the northern Pakistani city of Lahore, erupted in flames near Deewana town, about 80 km (50 miles) north of the Indian capital, around midnight (1830 GMT) on Sunday.

"On the basis of information given by eye-witnesses, one person who was present in one of the two coaches that caught fire has been detained," the Press Trust of India news agency quoted Railways Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav as telling reporters.
