Authorities suspect Saturday's blast at the popular
German Bakery in Pune was a terror attack [AFP]

Pune: Nine people were killed and upto 50, including five to six foreigners, injured in a bomb explosion that ripped apart a popular bakery near a Jewish prayer house here in the first terror attack since the carnage in Mumbai 14 months ago.

The blast--suspected to be an Improvised Explosive Device--took place at around 1915 hours in the German Bakery, an old business establishment in the Cantonment area of the city and a favourite joint for foreigners visiting the nearby Osho Ashram set up by Rajneesh.

US terror suspect David Headley is believed to have stayed at the Ashram during his visit to the city.

"There was a bomb blast. There have been nine deaths and 33 people were injured", said Pune's Joint Commissioner of Police Rajendra Sonwane.

"It's most probably a terror attack. We are sending a forensic team of CBI and personnel of National Investigative Agency (NIA)", Union Home Secretary Gopal Krishna Pillai said in New Delhi.

While some foreigners were believed among the dead, a senior police official said it was difficult to confirm their identity and nationalty as their faces were charred beyond recognition.

Police said there was a packet outside the kitchen of the bakery and when the waiters were calling the police, the IED went off.

Maharashtra Minister of State for Home Ramesh Bagve, who is an MLA from the constituency, said upto 50 people were injured, three of them seriously.

He said five to six foreigners were among the injured.
