[Times of India updates at TNN | Jul 14, 2011, 02.35am IST] No other city in the world has been the tragic target of as many serial terror attacks and bombings as Mumbai, which went through the agony in1993, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2008 and now July 13, 2011. On Wednesday evening, three serial bomb blasts in the span of ten minutes ripped through three of the busiest hubs in the city—Zaveri Bazar, Opera House and Dadar—at rush hour, killing 21 people and injuring 141.
The first explosion was at 6.54pm at Zaveri Bazaar, followed by another at Opera House a minute later. The third explosion was at 7.06pm outside Kabutarkhana, a few metres from the western side of Dadar railway station. This is the third terror attack at Zaveri Bazaar.
Thanks to NDTV.MUMBAI Jul 13, 2011 at 19-50 hrs IST : Islamists attacked Mumbai again to challenge Hindu majority in India. Most Hindus are victims uncared as usual. Three near-simultaneous explosions rocked Mumbai at rush-hour on Wednesday, killing at least 17 people in what the government said appeared to be another terrorist strike in the city hit by a major attack nearly three years ago as 26/11. Three blasts occurred in Zaveri Bazar, Dadar and Charni Roadareas this evening, killing at least 17 and injuring more than 100 people.
Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan said the latest attack killed 17 people, and home minister P Chidambaram said the toll was likely to rise. Television footage showed dozens of police officials, several of them armed, at the sites of the explosion and at least one car with its windows shattered. A photograph showed victims of a blast at the Zaveri Bazaar crowding into the back of a cargo truck to be taken to a hospital. Because of the close timing of the string of explosions, “we infer that this was a coordinated attack by terrorists,” home minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said.
The terror strike coincided with the birthday of Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving gunman in 26/11, who turned 24 today. Kasab has been sentenced to death by a trial court.Home Minister P Chidambaram had indicated that at least 10 people have been killed, but Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan raised that to 13, which itself was raised subsequently to 17.
After initially refusing to take a stand, Home Ministry has now described the blasts in Mumbai as serial bomb blasts.
Improvised explosive devices (IED) were used by the terrorists, says the Home Ministry.
Indian Mujahedin has emerged as the group most likely behind the terror strikes.

ReplyDeletehow terrorist come in our city and state ? and how can they succeeded in their plans?
It will happen again...these terrorists can do it, because they know, there is no such punishment exists for these kinds of crimes. Only royal treatments as we are giving to Kasab and Guru...
A COMMON MAN (AAM AADMI) GETS UP AND TAKES THINGS IN HIS OWN HAND as it will be matter of shame for the Government, as innocents get killed every time and the only thing what the Governments do is give Condolence Messages.."Its a pity that the culprits go unpunished and the Common Man goes through the Trauma of Loss of his Loved ones."
