Police in northwest India have arrested five suspects in connection with a series of homemade bomb explosions this week near Amritsar's Golden Temple, the holiest shrine in Sikhism. The second bomb was detonated in a similar way in the dawn hours of Monday, he added. The Golden Temple is one of Punjab's top attractions, famous for its gold-encrusted dome and surrounding clear waters. Yadav said police used CCTV footage from the third explosion to track down the suspects and make arrests on Thursday. The five suspects "have confessed that they were behind all three explosions," Yadav said, calling the arrests a "breakthrough."
