...quick to note that Apocalypto is less dependent on dialogue than most movies, and as a result, he looked for people who could express as much with their faces and actions as they do with their lines. Newcomer Rudy Youngblood, 25, a movie-star handsome Comanche and Cree Indian who plays the Apocalypto hero named Jaguar Paw, grew up in Texas and had been a grass dancer with the Native American Dance Theater before Gibson found him last year.

Another Indian intelligence officer who spoke to TIME linked Tuesday's bombings to amateurish attacks late last year in the tech towns of Hyderabad and Bangalore, and possibly the Delhi blasts too. In Hyderabad last October, a suicide bomber blew himself up 200 yards from the Andhra Pradesh state Chief Minister's office...
...Asked who might have carried out the attack, a senior Indian intelligence operative told TIME: "There aren't any definite pointers as yet. Given the target, it's probably an Islamist group, but there's nothing to connect them to Lashkar-e-Toibaa"-a reference to the Pakistani militant group fighting in Kashmir with links to the Pakistani establishment that has carried attacks across India and, until recently, was routinely fingered for any act of violence here.
