Mumbai: Police have carried out a series of raids in Mumbai and surrounding areas in an attempt to find those responsible for Tuesday's train bombings which killed 183, a report on BBC television has said.

Bomb squads and sniffer dogs have been combing the carriages in search of clues as to who was behind the seven co-ordinated blasts on Mumbai?s rail network.

Police said they raided sights in the area and detained suspects for questioning, but have not yet made any arrests.

Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but leading Kashmiri militant group Lashkar-e-Toiba denied they carried out the attacks, calling them "inhuman and barbaric".
