BOMBAY, Sept. 18 (UPI) -- A special court in India Monday convicted an accountant and his accomplice in the 1993 series of blasts in Bombay that killed a total of 257 victims.
Asgar Yusuf Mukadam, once an accountant to the prime suspect Tiger Memon who remains at large, and Shahnawaz Abdul Kader Qureshi were found guilty of parking a car filled with RDX explosive near a movie theater, one of several locations in the blasts.
