[Assam] The nine year old who made a bomb safe was portrayed as a terrorist in Assam.

[Ram Sarangapani]

Well, this is ONLY one of the cases. I think in the other two, the kids were
killed.

Also this header - "The nine year old who made a bomb safe was portrayed as
a terrorist in Assam"
is so out of whack. The story does say the 9 year old was realeased and no
connection was established etc
-so, who has labeled the 9 year old as a terrorist?

If there is a blast, there has to some investigation - there was, and the
kid has been released.
