LUCKNOW, India (Reuters) - Nearly simultaneous
explosions from homemade bombs planted outside
courts in three northern Indian cities killed at
least 13 people in what a senior government
official said were terrorist strikes.

Officials said 59 people were wounded in the
blasts at Varanasi, Faizabad and Lucknow, all in
the populous state of Uttar Pradesh. Many of the
dead were lawyers.

At least nine people were killed in Varanasi,
one of India's most sacred Hindu pilgrim centers,
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, who uses
only one name, told reporters.

Four people were killed in Faizabad while there
were no casualties in the state capital Lucknow.

All three cities have a history of communal
tensions between India's majority Hindus and
its minority Muslims.
