At least five people were killed after a explosion during Friday prayers at an historic mosque in the capital of the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, police said.

Another 22 people were injured at Mecca Masjid, the main mosque in Hyderabad.

Hyderabad has a large Muslim population and several historic mosques.

A bomb blast killed 32 people last year at a mosque in the western state of Maharashtra, an attack which police blamed on a banned Islamic students group trying to spark communal tension.
