BBC: Seven to die for US centre attack

A court in India has sentenced to death seven men convicted of attacking the American cultural centre in Calcutta in January 2002.

Those convicted include Aftab Ahmed Ansari, who the judge said had planned the attack in which five policemen were killed and nearly 20 others injured.

Two other men were acquitted for lack of evidence.

The attack heightened tensions in South Asia, coming just weeks after a bloody raid on India's parliament.

India accused Pakistan of having a link to both attacks which was strongly denied by Islamabad.
