Associated Press Writer= GAUHATI, India (AP) - A series of coordinated blasts tore through India's volatile northeast on Thursday, killing at least 56 people, wounding more than 300 and setting police on a frantic search for any unexploded bombs, officials said.

One bomb exploded near the office of the Assam state's top government official in the largest blast, leaving bodies and mangled cars and motorcycles strewn across the road.

Bystanders dragged the wounded and dead to cars that took them to hospitals. Police officers covered the burned remains of the dead with white sheets, leaving them in the street.

Fifty-six people were killed in the blasts, including at least 25 killed in five explosions in the state capital, Gauhati, said Subhash Das, a senior official in the state's Home Ministry. Dozens were also killed in blasts in the Kokrajhar district and in the town of Barpeta.

At least 300 people were injured in the 13 blasts, most caused by bombs and at least one from a hand grenade, he said.
