Hospital sources said Harish Mohammad, who succumbed to injuries at 0600 hrs, was admitted to the Hospital with 55 per cent burns.

Harish was a resident of Pakistan's port city, Karachi.

The condition of eleven others, who were undergoing treatment in the Hospital was stated to be stable.

Over 67 people, mostly Pakistani nationals, were killed and several injured when blasts ripped through two coaches of the train at around 0100 hrs yesterday near Panipat in Haryana.

The deceased included 26 men, 14 women and 13 children while the remaining 14 bodies were burnt beyond recognition, officials here said. However, only seven of the dead, three of them Pakistanis, have been identified.

This was one of the deadliest terrorist attacks on the Indian Railways system and perhaps the only one in which Indian and Pakistani civilians have together lost their lives.
