The first explosion hit New Delhi's main Paharganj market, leaving behind bloodstained streets and mangled stalls of wood and twisted metal. Within minutes came an explosion at the popular Sarojini Nagar market and the bus blast in the Govindpuri neighborhood. Police said at least 60 people were wounded in the first blast and dozens in the other two.

The attacks targeted the many people shopping just days before the festival of Diwali, a major Hindu holiday  
during which families exchange gifts, light candles and celebrate with fireworks. The markets where the  
blasts occurred often sell fireworks that are elaborate and potentially dangerous.

While he did not say who was suspected in the explosions, the Indian government faces opposition from dozens of militant organizations, from tiny fringe groups to well-armed Kashmiri insurgents who have previously attacked New Delhi, including a bloody 2001 assault on parliament. Some of those groups fiercely oppose the India-Pakistan peace process, which began early last year.

He complained that the true milestones of the war were "rarely covered or discussed," and said they included

Earlier Tuesday, the military announced the deaths of two Marines in fighting with insurgents last week west

The spokesman for the American-led multinational force called on news organizations not to look at the  
2,000 death as a milestone in the conflict. Lt. Col. Steve Boylan described 2,000 figure as an "artificial mark  
on the wall."

"I ask that when you report on the events, take a moment to think about the effects on the families and those  
serving in Iraq," Boylan said in an e-mail. "The 2,000 service members killed in Iraq supporting Operation  
Iraqi Freedom is not a milestone. It is an artificial mark on the wall set by individuals or groups with specific  
agendas and ulterior motives."
