A special court in India has found 12 men guilty for playing a significant role in the deadly bombings of commuter trains in 2006. The blasts, which occurred one after another on July 2006, killed 189 people and injured more than 800, according to BBC News.

The 12 men were convicted on charges of waging war against the nation, conspiracy and murder. Though the sentences of the convicted men will be released next week, some of them might face the death penalty.

"We are going to pray for the strictest punishment for the guilty," Raja Thakre, a public prosecutor, said.

One of the accused was acquitted, however, while another 15 people, some of whom are thought to have masterminded the attack, remain on the run, reports Xinhua News Agency.

The deadly blasts were initially blamed on a Pakistani militant group, the Lashkar-e-Taiba; however, Pakistan has been adamant in denying any allegations about the involvement of the Pakistani group.

The bombs were packed into seven pressure cookers, which were then placed in a number of bags. Each bomb was set to detonate within 15 minutes of each other.

The attack was initiated on the evening of July 11, 2006, with the seven bombs ripping through several coaches on Mumbai's local trains during rush hour. The blasts took place in Matunga, Khar, Mahim, Jogeshwari, Borivali and Mira road, with most of the explosions occurring while the train was still moving.
