Indian Mumbai train bombings. 135 are reported dead, 200+ dead and there were 8 serial blasts. There were blasts in Jammu & Kashmir this morning too. Here is the lowdown from a fellow commenter on Intentblog, Navin: This evening, Mumbai was rocked by 8 serial blasts along the local train line at various places between 6:24 PM and 6:35 PM India time. This, as you can guess, is the rush hour when people go back home from their offices. Around 105 persons are reported dead and over 250 are injured. I'm getting a feeling of deja-vu as just a few days back I had written in Rahul Bose's thread that one would travel in the local Mumbai trains only if one was feeling suicidal. :( The local trains were subsequently halted for checking for more bombs, which resulted in a traffic congestion problem on the roads and many people had no option but to walk towards their destinations. The bombs exploded in the first class coaches. These explosions followed the explosions which took place in the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir in the morning. Explosions in J&K don't make headlines any more and are considered routine. (sic) It is too early to say whether the blasts in these two locations were related or not. No terrorist organization has taken responsibility for the blasts yet. But one can safely say that world politics today has gone to the dogs. But one thing has been proved once again that the people of Mumbai are very resilient and I am sure that they will be back to business as usual, tomorrow morning.http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/07/11/mumbai.blasts/newt1.india.12.ap.jpg
