Serial Bomb Blasts...

Are you all aware of the bombing incidents going on here in india?
On 25th, 7 blasts occurred in Bangalore (Karnatak) engulfing 6 people; 2 more were diffused in the next few hours!
Yesterday, 12 bombs exploded in Ahmedabad (Gujrat) taking lives of 2 people!
And Today, 14 more explode in the same city (Ahmedabad) taking lives of more than 45 people!!!
The last explosion was in the heart of a Hospital killing innocent men, women and even children!?
The death toll is supposed to rise in the next 24hrs...:o

Re: Serial Bomb Blasts...

That is truly horrible ... who are the bombers? Are the police having any success in catching them? It is almost unbelievable.

Re: Serial Bomb Blasts...

Yes.. Truly Horrible!
Its said that an Islamist group 'Indian Mujahideen' has taken the responsibility for the dire act.
Police have arrested an SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India) activist 'Abdul Halim' (wanted in 2002 Gujrat riots) for investigations.
emails have been encountered, circulating around, threatening a total of 100 blasts!
God knows what's next...

Re: Serial Bomb Blasts...

What a pity! It was Mumbai yesterday, Nov 26, 2008! Different reports put the toll at different numbers between 40 and 80 and several hundreds injured. For what sin are the innocents and their kith and kin made to suffer? We need a peaceful planet to live in, and the sooner that happens, the better!

Re: Serial Bomb Blasts...

When will this end??? Pakistan(selected few) vs India??

They have taken over Kashmir again...China claims some land of India and the McMahon Line is still no mans land....
And most of the politicians of India are corrupted(i might be wrong but this is the way it looks to me)
Just like Ganesh said:

Why cant people leave India alone for once? Hasn't it suffered enough?
