CALCUTTA, India - More than 60 people were injured and dozens of vehicles set ablaze in eastern India when an angry mob demonstrated after a radio host made derogatory comments about the winner of the popular television show "Indian Idol," officials said Saturday. The violence broke out Friday when supporters of Prashant Tamang , the recent winner of the TV singing competition, took to the streets of Siliguri, a town in the eastern state of West Bengal, to protest what they perceived as a radio show host's ethnic slur against Tamang, said state police official R.J.S. Nalwa. Tamang is an Indian citizen of Nepalese origin. The protesters apparently blocked a road and refused to let an ambulance carrying a patient pass, which led to clashes between Tamang's supporters and a group accompanying the ambulance, said Nalwa.

Yes, they are dressed in black. Yes, they carried a sword and a dagger. However, unlike the reporter and cop in this video , those are who educated in the ways of the ninja know a ninja cannot be caught on tape. Two women disguised as ninjas and armed with a sword are being hunted by police after they held up a petrol station . Police said the two women tied up the cashier before escaping with cash, lottery tickets and cigarettes. Reports said one was carrying a samurai sword, while the other had a dagger. They were dressed all in black, apart from white gloves - but the way they moved around the shop indicated the ninja training only went as far as the costumes.
