Commonwealth Games boss unworried by Pune bomb

Commonwealth Games officials are seeking more information from the government after Saturday's bombing in India renewed security fears ahead of the Delhi Commonwealth Games later this year.

Nine people were killed and 60 injured when a bomb exploded outside a restaurant in the west Indian city of Pune on Saturday.

The blast was the first terrorist attack on Indian soil since 2008.

"I have been in touch with foreign affairs this morning," CEO of The Australian Commonwealth Games Association Perry Crosswhite told AAP on Monday.

"We are renewing our request for information."

He said his concerns were not increased by the attack which has been linked to the Pakistani based Lashkar-e-Toiba militant group.

The Indian government has already announced compensation of 200,000 rupees ($A4,828) to the families of those killed and 100,000 rupees to the injured.

Mr Crosswhite said the athletes would not face the same security risks faced by everyday tourists.

"All the areas where our team is going to be - the village, the airport - are all going to extremely secure."

The bomb, hidden in a backpack under a table, exploded at about 7.30pm on Saturday at the German Bakery restaurant, which is a magnet for young Indians and foreign tourists.

The eatery is near an Hindu ashram, or religious retreat, popular with overseas visitors and a Jewish cultural and religious centre run by the orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch movement.

Private intelligence firm Stratfor reported the explosive used was RDX, a military-grade explosive, mixed with ammonium nitrate.

"Both materials are relatively easy to acquire and are commonly used in attacks in India," Stratfor said.
