"NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- Three explosions ripped through New Delhi on Saturday evening within minutes of each other, killing at least 42 people -- most of them at a marketplace crowded with thousands of people getting ready for India's festival of lights, the state of Delhi's chief minister Sheila Dikshit told CNN. She said at least 31 people died at the Sarojini Nagar marketplace in central Delhi and the others were killed at the Paharganj marketplace, both packed with people preparing for the Hindu holiday of Diwali, India's largest festival. While it is not clear what caused the blasts, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's office said he believes it was a terrorist attack."

That's basically like somebody bombing NYC on Christmas. No word yet on who or why.
