NEW DELHI, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Police in Mumbai on Wednesday said they had found 8 kg (18 lb) of explosives in a bag left behind last week at the city's train station at the start of a three-day rampage by Islamist militants.

There was no bomb, an official at the train station's police control room told Reuters. The station was one of the sites attacked last week by militants. (Reporting by Rina Chandran; Editing by Bryson Hull)
