The latest bombing was the fourth attack attributed to Sikh separatists since Sunday. At least 52 people, most of them Hindu, have died in the attacks and many more have been wounded. Crowds of Hindus angered by continuing Sikh militant violence in Punjab state threw stones at police as they tried to cordon off the area struck by the bomb. Doctors said they had problems operating be cause of agitated crowds that filled the hospitals, where about three dozen of the injured were taken. The blast ignited a fire that burned two shops in the market and 10 motor scooters. Merchant Tilak Raj said the flames engulfed many people who were trying to flee the scene. Suresh Arora, the city’s senior po lice superintendent, called the situa tion “very tense” and officials clamped a curfew in the area. The bomb was hidden inside a plastic bag in the front part of a mo tor scooter parked at the market, Arora quotea witnesses as saying. Hindu merchants, industrialists and cloth retailers gather at the wholesale market, which is about 200 yards from the Golden Temple, the holiest Sikh shrine. Security forces last month besieged the temple to flush out Sikh militants there. Serbjeet Singh, deputy commis sioner of Amritsar, blamed neigh boring Pakistan for the bombing.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — U.S. and Mexican officials must cooperate more to prevent sporadic incidents of violence and death along the bor der, Immigration and Naturaliza tion Service Commissioner Alan C. Nelson said Tuesday. “There is a greater need for joint border cooperation between author ities of the two countries ... to avoid tragedies like last year’s boxcar inci dents,” Nelson said. Most of the incidents involved rock-throwing by youths. In March, however, at San Ysidro, Calif., U.S. law enforcement officers killed one man and wounded three, part of a group of five Hispanic men appar ently intent on robbery. One of the incidents Nelson men tioned occurred in Texas, when 18 Mexican undocumented workers suffocated to death, locked in a box car, in July 1987. Nelson is in Mexico City to brief Mexican authorities on the applica tion of the new Simpson-Rodino law that provided amnesty for undocu mented people living in the United States and penalizes employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Nelson said “there is a good relationship and dialogue (between American authorites) and with Mex ican counterparts” on the applica tion of the law.
