Guwahati, Oct 30: Eleven serial blasts rocked various places in Assam on Thursday, killing at least 12 people and injuring over 50 others, police and eyewitnesses said. While four blasts are reported to have taken place in Guwahati, three occurred in Barpeta, and two each in Bongaigaon and Kokrajhar district of the northeastern state. In Guwahati, the blasts reportedly took place at Ganeshguri flyover, District Court Area, Fancy Bazaar and Paan Bazaar. TV channels showed footage of extensive damage, with thick black smoke billowing into the sky. The mangled remains of cars littered Guwahati's streets even as fire brigade personnel and rescue workers rushed in to control the flames. It is believed that the bombs in Guwahati were placed in cars. One blast went off just 100 metres from the residence of Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi. Another exploded in front of the Kamrup district Deputy Commissioner's office, sources said. According to reports, most of the blasts took place in crowded market areas. The explosions occurred within a span of one hour, with the first one going off at around 11:30 am. Injured have been rushed to the hospital. Police suspect the hand of ULFA rebels in the blasts. The casualty figures are likely to rise with the condition of many of the injured being critical, sources said.
