They Shoot Horses in India!

One hundred twenty worshippers are reported killed in s stampede at a Hindu temple in the northern Indian state Himachal Pradesh, Indian police say. The stampede happened at the Nainadevi temple in the Bilsapur district of Himachal Pradesh state, during a nine-day Hindu religious festival.

Police said the victims included 30 children while more people were hurt and have been taken to hospital. Indian temples are regularly hit by stampedes, as huge crowds of Hindu devotees flock to make offerings at festival times.

There have been at least three fatal stampedes in the country so far during 2008, although the numbers killed were far smaller than in the latest incident, BBC says.
