At least seven people were killed and over 50 wounded in two bomb blasts in India's troubled north-eastern state of Assam, police said on Sunday.

At least seven people were killed and over 50 wounded in two bomb blasts in India's troubled north-eastern state of Assam, police said on Sunday.

The bombs were mounted on bicycles left in front of a police station and a shopping center in the town of Nalbari located some 70 km (43miles) from the Assam state capital, Guwahati, the police said.

The police said that separatist militants from the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) were behind the blasts.

Health officials said the death toll could rise as some people wounded in the bomb attacks were in critical condition.

No organization has yet claimed responsibility for the bomb attacks.

ULFA has been fighting for an independent homeland in India's northeast since 1979.
