NEW DELHI (AP) _ <b>A series of explosions shook the southern Indian city of Bangalore on Friday</b>, killing at least one person, police said. One woman was killed in an explosion at a bus stand in the city's Madiwala neighborhood, local police officer Ahmed Hussain told The Associated Press by telephone.
He said there had been three other explosions, though he had no immediate information on other casualties or the cause of the blasts. Indian media reports said there had been up to six blasts and up to three people killed.
Television footage showed police officers from bomb squads scouring the areas, covered with shattered glass. From the pictures, it appeared the blasts were relatively small.
Several Indian cities have been hit by serial blasts in recent months, attacks that have been blamed on Islamic militants. Bangalore, India's high-tech hub, has not been the scene of bombings in recent years, though a gunman from an Islamic group opened fire at a prestigious science institute in the city in late 2005, killing a retired professor.
