India's ambassador to the United States, Ronen Sen, said officials' top priority was to attend to hundreds of injured and to contact relatives of victims. Officials also were investigating details of the blasts, Sen said.

"We have, unfortunately, faced these kinds of situations in the past," he said in an interview with The Associated Press, referring to similar serial blasts in 1993 with targets that included the Bombay Stock Exchange, which killed more than 250 people, and other attacks.

"Our people are resilient," he said. "It's not going to affect our economy."

Sen said that while it was too early to say who was responsible, "the pattern is similar" to past operations by those groups.
