Whats happening in India?
NEW DELHI -- Multiple bomb blasts rocked this densely populated city Saturday evening, killing at least 18 people and injuring dozens more in the worst terrorist incident to hit the Indian capital in nearly three years.
The serial explosions struck packed marketplaces and public areas across Delhi, from its older, northern precincts to the newer, affluent south. At least two bombs blew up in Connaught Place, the city's most famous commercial district: a circular, colonnaded arcade of shops and restaurants erected during the British Raj.
As is routinely the case in such attacks here, Indian authorities immediately cast suspicion on Muslim extremists. A militant outfit known as the Indian Mujahedin sent an e-mail before the attacks to Indian news organizations, warning that India was soon to receive "the message of death." The assertion could not be verified.
Indian Mujahedin was little known until several months ago, when e-mails from purported spokespersons claimed that the group was behind at least two deadly bombings: one in May in the tourist destination of Jaipur, which killed more than 60 people, and another in July in the city of Ahmedabad in western India, in which dozens of people died.
Saturday's apparently coordinated attacks, a string of explosions that went off as darkness fell and the streets were crowded, was the worst to hit Delhi since multiple blasts in October 2005. In that incident, more than 50 people were killed on the eve of one of Hinduism's most important festivals, leading to government declarations that Islamic radicals were attempting to sow religious strife.
Officials link the Indian Mujahedin to a banned Muslim students group. But little concrete proof has tied the student organization to specific attacks, and bombings throughout India in the last year have not ignited any communal violence in this predominantly Hindu nation.
India is home to many militant groups, some of them ethnic separatists and others religious radicals. Attacks, particularly bombings, are not uncommon; suspicion often falls on extremists from Kashmir, who want the contested Himalayan region split off from India or merged with Pakistan.
Arrests are usually swift after such incidents. But human rights groups say that evidence is often elusive and that the police sweeps round up innocent people, many of them young Muslim men.

FS...These Terrorist activities are intended to lower population.....the religious backdrop is just to cloak the real reason.
These activities are even happening in poverty ridden countries.
What do these terrorist plan to do if they over run the govt?
They have no goals...other than martyerdom!
What these terrorist dont understand is that they are being used by other "Racial cults" for their own purposes.
Terrorism is the next version of Hitler's Gas chambers.
In fact Terrorism is the cheapest Execution method ever invented.

amending the anti-terrorism law will bring along more problems for the'innocents' as u can see in the US. wats needed is an upgrading of the intelligence services. RAW focuses on external intelligence. its high time something along the lines of the FBI is set up.

Its getting too much, 71 000 innocents were killed in bomb blasts last 10 years..
Let them shoot all suspects at sight.. there will be innocent victims among them.. but wont be as much as gona die in blasts..
This is shocking!
Delhi is a high security zone, if such blasts can happen there then they can happen anywhere...
This can mean many things - reaction to nuke deal, involvement and support of local people, communal angle, spread of terrorism, lack of intelligence and security...
More bombs are being defused...
Its high time our government should amend the anti
Terrorist laws.
Well FS . this is our indian %*^%&* Politics
