From Times Wire Reports

India detained 11 people, mostly Muslims, after rounding up more than 300 in a dawn swoop as the hunt for the Mumbai bombers produced several leads, but police warned against drawing premature conclusions.

Panic gripped Mumbai, formerly Bombay, anew when evening trains were stopped for more than an hour and commuters evacuated after a bomb threat at a northern suburban station. The threat was declared a hoax after a search, police said.

About 400 officers are hunting for those behind Tuesday’s bombings of commuter trains and stations in the Indian financial hub that killed as many as 200 people and wounded hundreds.
