Explosives found at Mumbai station

Police have found explosives hidden in a bag in Mumbai's main train station, which they said were left over from last week's attacks.

While searching 150 bags at the station, police found one that looked suspicious and called the bomb squad. They found two bombs of 8.8lbs each inside and defused them, said Assistant Commissioner of Police Bapu Domre.

The news comes as Indian authorities face a growing wave of criticism about intelligence failures and bungled security that let 10 gunmen terrorise India's largest city for 60 hours, killing at least 171 people.
