The 2006 West Bengal train disaster was a fatal suspected terrorist explosion on a train travelling between New Jalpaiguri and Haldibari on 20 November 2006, when the train was in a remote part of West Bengal, India. Five people were killed, and between 25 and 50 were injured, although home secretary Prasad Ranjan Ray said officials believed there might be as many as 66 injured. Two passenger cars were damaged. The explosion was due to a still-undetermined cause, but terrorism was suspected. The train was about 550 kilometres (340 mi) from Kolkata.
