Three blasts in Mumbai, city on high alert
2011-07-13
There are reports of three explosions in Mumbai - two in South Mumbai at Opera House and in Zaveri Bazar and one at Dadar, in central Mumbai.

One explosion, in a car in Dadar, has been confirmed. Details are not known yet about the reported explosion at Zaveri Bazaar or the one at Opera House. Eyewitnesses said at least 6 people were feared killed and about 15 to 20 people have taken to hospital in Zaveri Bazar.

Reports said a police control room had received a call claiming that there were serial blasts in Mumbai.

In 1993, more than 50 people were killed in the blast that rocked Zaveri Bazaar.

Looks like Islamabad is out to preempt any links or criticisms on this one.

#6  I guess the fifteen-minute-interval thing is their new implementation of the staggered blast thing to try to kill more first responders?

#5  Thanks for moving that over. I didn't bother doing so because I saw the headline and figured it went someplace just as useful.

#3  Courtesy of the Thing from Snowy Mountain, a detailed timeline from Yahoo! India. Indian Mujahideen suspected, the three bombs went off at fifteen minute intervals, currently believed eight dead, around seventy

If it's Indian Mujahideen, there' probably a Pakistan connection, whether Lashkar-i-Taiba like the last Mumbai attack in 2008 or the ISI directly.
