Report on India Train Fire
The burning of a train that set off India's worst religious riots in a decade was caused by an ''accidental fire'' and not by a suspected Muslim mob as was first charged, a government investigation panel said Monday in an interim report.
Fifty-nine Hindu pilgrims, including women and children, died when a carriage caught fire in Gujarat State in February 2002. The incident was ascribed to a Muslim mob and incited the revenge killing of more than 1000 people, mostly Muslims.
Human rights groups put the death toll at more than 2500
