Leopards caught in fearful Bombay
BBC News snip
The authorities in India's business capital Bombay (Mumbai) have captured three leopards after a recent upsurge in attacks on humans.
The big cats have killed 12 people this month alone - and three times that number since the start of 2003.

Residents have been gripped by fear following the attacks, which have taken place in and around a wildlife park.

Officials blame illegal settlements in the sanctuary and a lack of food for the leopards.

Most of the attacks have occurred in the city's Powai area, where the Sanjay Gandhi National Park is situated.
