Dad bomb kills son

Behrampore, May 6: A 15-year-old boy was killed this afternoon, apparently while being taught how to make bombs by his father in a Murshidabad village.

Police said Anisur Rahman, a farm labourer and apparently a CPM supporter, was making bombs in his thatched two-storey house about 185km from Calcutta. One of them went off. He is missing.
