Many reports in the news about a blast at the German Bakery in Pune, India. The German Bakery is a popular hang out spot just down the road from the Osho Meditation Resort. The cause of the explosion appears to be an LPG gas canister, but whether it was triggered by a bomb is unknown. Eight people have died and about 30 were injured in the blast. Pune is considered a terrorist target because of the large number of foreigners drawn to the Osho Meditation Resort and other attractions in the city.

From Reuters Newswire:
PUNE, India, Feb 13 (Reuters) - At least eight people were killed in a suspected bomb blast at a restaurant popular with foreign tourists in the western Indian city of Pune, police said on Saturday.
If the blast is confirmed to be a bomb, it would be the first major attack in India since the Mumbai attacks in November 2008.
The explosion at German Bakery occurred late in the evening, when the popular bakery was packed with tourists and foreigners.
"There are eight dead and 33 injured in the blast at the German Bakery. It is a suspected bomb blast," Rajendra Sonawane, a joint commissioner of police, told reporters.
It was unclear if any foreigners were killed in the blast. Police said some foreigners had been wounded.
"We heard a big noise and we all rushed out. The impact was so much that there were tiny body parts everywhere," said Vinod Dhale, an employee at the bakery. (Reporting by Rituparna Bhowmik; Editing by Alistair Scrutton)
