Muslims in Jaipur fear backlash after blasts: WP

WASHINGTON - Muslims, mostly Bangladeshi migrant workers, in the Indian city of Jaipur say they were deeply concerned about a backlash and felt they had been targeted as suspects because of their Islamic faith in the wake of Tuesday's bombings, according to a dispatch in The Washington Post on Friday.

They spoke to The Post correspondent as police detectives searched house to house Thursday for suspects in the coordinated bombings that hit this historic city three days ago.

Dozens of Bangladeshis were questioned, the dispatch said. Police said that at least 30 have been taken into custody but that no arrests have been made.
