MUMBAI: Rescue workers and police have plucked 65 diamonds from the debris-strewn streets of Mumbai's precious stone hub that was targeted last week in deadly bomb blasts, an industry group said Monday.

Teams of workers made the discoveries while picking through rubble and panning muddy monsoon puddles in the Opera House area in the south of the city, one of three sites attacked on Wednesday in blasts that left 19 dead.

The area is a maze of narrow streets housing wholesale and retail diamond outlets where couriers are seen on most days darting between shops transporting merchandise.
