Tensions in Hyderabad

Police in India have arrested a Muslim man in connection with last week's bombing of a historic mosque in Hyderabad, that killed 11 people.

Officials say the suspect was detained Tuesday in Jalna, in western Maharashtra state. He is the first person to be detained for questioning about the attack.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack.

Security remains tight around the Hyderabad mosque with thousands of police deployed in the area. Shortly after Friday prayers, police used batons to beat back worshippers protesting the official inquiry into the bombing.

Five people died in police shootings during riots that erupted after the bombing of the 17th century mosque.
