via 31 convicted in deadly Godhra train fire that sparked fatal anti-Muslim riots in India.



NEW DELHI – An Indian court in the western state of Gujarat has found 31 Muslims guilty of setting fire to a train coach nine years ago, killing 59 Hindu passengers in an incident that sparked some of the worst religious violence in India in recent years.



The verdict was delivered inside the jail by Judge P.R. Patel who charged the men with murder and criminal conspiracy in the plot to kill the Hindu activists. The judge acquitted 63 others accused in the case.



Sentences are scheduled to be announced Friday.



The defendants bought gas, cut into the vestibule to pour it inside and torched the train, said J.M. Panchal, the public prosecutor in the case.



The Sabarmati Express train was carrying Hindu activists who were returning from a pilgrimage. Police had accused the Muslim mob of executing a well conceived plan in the town of Godhra on Feb. 27, 2002.



Read it all. India has been on the front line for a very long time
