An Indian court Friday granted a 30-day parole to a woman convicted three decades ago over her role in the 1991 assassination of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi by militants. Gandhi and 14 others were killed in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu by a female suicide bomber belonging to Sri Lanka's Tamil separatist group the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
Nalini Sriharan, an Indian national, was arrested soon after the bombing and found guilty - together with her husband and 25 others - of conspiracy and helping the teenage bomber, Thenmozhi Rajaratnam.
