En het bijbehorende, nog enigzins oudere nieuwsbericht:quote:>BREAKING NEWS
Indian police say at least 135 people were killed and 250 injured in today’s series of explosions on commuter trains in the Mumbai area.
Het gaat hier dus duidelijk om terroristische aanslagen. Wie ervoor verantwoordelijk is is vooralsnog niet geheel duidelijk, maar het is niet onwaarschijnlijk dat een groep geaffilieerd met Al Queda en/of Pakistaanse militanten achter de aanslagen zit.quote:MUMBAI, India (CNN) -- At least 70 people have been killed in seven explosions on crowded rush-hour commuter trains in the Indian financial capital of Mumbai, police said.
Officials said more than 300 people were injured in the blasts, which took place between 6:20 and 7 p.m. (1250 and 1330 GMT) when the trains were packed with commuters making their way home.
A correspondent for CNN's sister network, CNN-IBN, reported seeing 15 bodies at the Matunga train station in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay.
Commuters fled rail stations in panic after the explosions and cellphone lines were jammed, Reuters reported. Video from one station showed people with blood on them being treated, other commuters carrying victims and some people lying motionless near train tracks.

At least one train was split in half by the explosion.
The Western Railway system -- used by 4.5 million people daily -- was shut down and Mumbai's subway system was put on high alert after the blasts in the city's western suburbs. Police in the capital of New Delhi also heightened security.
Airports across India were also put on high alert, and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called an emergency meeting of his ministers after the explosions.
One person was arrested in New Delhi in police raids after the explosions, CNN-IBN reported, but there was no claim of responsibility for the attacks. The blasts took place in quick succession -- a tactic used by Kashmiri militants who have often targeted Indian cities.
Earlier Tuesday, a grenade attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir killed at least four people. Authorities believe militants are responsible for that attack on a minibus in Srinagar. There was no immediate indication of a connection to the Mumbai blasts.
The blasts hit trains or platforms at the Khar, Mahim, Matunga, Jogeshwari, Borivili and Bhayander stations, in that order. Another hit a train between the Khar and Santa Cruz stations, a police official told CNN-IBN.
One CNN-IBN correspondent who was on a train hit by an explosion said the train was just leaving the station when the blast occurred. Several people jumped from the train and were killed when they were hit by the train.
"Limbs (are) lying everywhere, bodies (were) cleared from the tracks by local business owners who rushed from their shops," the correspondent said.
On March 7, 14 people were killed in attacks on a temple and a rail station in Varansi. On March 12, 1993, more than 250 people were killed in Mumbai when 13 bombs exploded in several locations in the city.
The city's commuter rail network is among the most crowded in the world.
Kashmir was divided between India and Pakistan in war after independence from Britain in 1947, and they fought another war over the region in 1965.
Militant groups have been fighting Indian rule in Kashmir, demanding the mostly Muslim region's independence, or its merger with Pakistan.
After coming close to fighting a fourth war in 2002, the two nations have been observing a cease-fire along the Line of Control dividing Kashmir between them since November 2003.

Bomaanslagen India: zeker 100 doden
Bij een serie explosies in de Indiase stad Mumbai (het vroegere Bombay) zijn zeker honderd doden gevallen. Tijdens de avondspits ontploften zeven bommen kort na elkaar in overvolle forensentreinen. Alle stations in de miljoenenstad zijn afgesloten.
Ook in de hoofdstad New Delhi en andere grote Indiase steden is de politie in de hoogste van paraatheid gebracht.
Niemand heeft zich nog verantwoordelijk verklaard voor de aanslagen. In augustus 2003 vielen in Mumbai circa 60 doden door bomaanslagen. In 1993 was de stad, het financiėle hart van India, doelwit van bomaanslagen die 260 levens eisten.
Ik gok dat de Pakistani's er iets mee te maken hebben. Ik denk trouwens dat India vrij verstandig blijft en dit niet al te ver laat escaleren, maar het zijn wel de gebeurtenissen die tot een oorlog kunnen leiden....quote:Op dinsdag 11 juli 2006 17:50 schreef Fir3fly het volgende:

Ligt idd wel een beetje voor de hand. In die zin kun je, gezien de verhoudingen tussen beide landen, deze aanslag ook niet echt op een hoop met eerdere aanslagen vegen.quote:Op dinsdag 11 juli 2006 18:26 schreef KNAK het volgende:

[ bron ]quote:The 1993 Mumbai bombings were a series of 13 bomb explosions that took place in Mumbai (Bombay), India on March 12, 1993. The attacks were the most destructive and coordinated bomb explosions in the country's history. The attacks are widely believed to be the retaliation by the underworld for Babri Mosque demolition in December, 1992.
In December 1992 and January 1993 there was widespread rioting in Mumbai following the destruction of the Babri Mosque in Ayodhya by Hindu groups led by the RSS. Between January 1 and 5, the city witnessed a series of riots in which 1,788 (official figures) people, mostly Muslims, lost their lives.
The official number of dead was 257 dead with 1,400 others injured (some news sources say 317 people died; this is due to a bomb which killed 60 in Calcutta on March 17). Several days later, unexploded car bombs were discovered at a railway station. Islamic terrorist groups based in Pakistan were suspected to be responsible for these bombings, and evidence uncovered pointed to the involvement of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. Many hundreds of people, predominantly Muslim, have been arrested and detained in Indian courts and are undergoing or awaiting trial. So far, no convictions have resulted twelve years after the blasts
More than ten years later, on August 25, 2003, two large bombs left in taxis exploded in south Mumbai - the Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar in the busy Kalbadevi area - killing 52 people and wounding more than a hundred others. India blamed two Islamic militant groups, Jaish-e-Mohammed or Lashkar-e-Toiba, for the attacks. This is believed by some to be a response for the 2002 Gujarat riots, which left more than 2,000 dead, mainly Muslims.
Nee, dat ging over een parkeergarage bij het Amsterdamse Bos en Lommerplein..quote:Op dinsdag 11 juli 2006 20:16 schreef Monidique het volgende:
