HYDERABAD, INDIA — Hundreds of police in riot gear deployed Saturday throughout the mostly deserted streets of Hyderabad, hoping to prevent anger over a mosque bombing from sparking more of the religious violence that has plagued the southern Indian city.
Most shops closed for a daylong strike to protest Friday's attack at the 17th-century Mecca Masjid mosque that left 10 people dead and 35 wounded, and the ensuing clashes with police that left four others dead.
