GUWAHATI, April 7 (Reuters): Four bomb blasts killed eight people in India's troubled northeastern state of Assam Monday, a day before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was due to visit the region, police said.
Police said the state's main separatist group, the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), was behind the attacks.
Singh's visit to the state would go ahead as scheduled amid tight security, a spokesman for the ruling Congress party said.
