Congress core group meets to discuss Delhi blast

The Congress core group met in Delhi Friday to discuss the government's response to Wednesday's blast near Delhi High Court that killed 13 people.

The meeting, held at the residence of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, also discussed the Lokpal bill which is being examined by a parliamentary standing committee.

Sources said Home Minister P Chidambaram briefed the committee on progress in investigations concerning the blast near Delhi High Court Wednesday.

Chidambaram had told the media earlier that there were "promising" but no conclusive leads in the blast so far.
