More than 200 killed in temple stampede

A Hindu temple official blamed an unruly group of pilgrims trying to get ahead in a line of worshippers for a stampede that killed more than 200 people and injured nearly 60 in western India.

The disaster occurred just as the doors of the temple were being opened for worship at dawn for more than 12,000 people celebrating an important Hindu festival in Jodhpur in Rajasthan state.

False rumors of a bomb also made the situation worse. Tensions have been high after a series of bomb attacks. The latest came Sept. 29, killing at least six and wounding 45 in western Indian cities. (AP)
