Mumbai Attacks

Violence like that is stupid and senseless. I hope no one cares about why they did it and that everyone cares very much about catching the criminals.

I am from Mumbai And safe

Hi,

Mumbai was struck by three powerful bomb blasts during the evening rush hour on Wednesday that killed at least 21 people and injured dozens more, including businessmen from the city's thriving diamond, gold and jewellery trade.

The first explosion at 6.54pm was in the crowded, bustling Zaveri bazaar, a British-era market packed with hundreds of gold and jewellery shops.

The second, a minuter later, was at the Opera House, which has become a major hub for India's prosperous diamond exporters.

The third blast at 7.05pm hit the central Mumbai neighbourhood of Dadar, at the Kabutar Khana (Pigeon House) junction, where businessmen on their way to the railway station often stop to feed grain to the pigeons. Dadar is largely a residential district, and is the stronghold of the opposition Shiv Sena, a militant political party whose headquarters were targeted during the 1993 bomb blasts following the demolition by radical Hindus of a Mughal-era mosque in northern India.

I heard about it a little bit. I thought of the members in Mumbai. I know we have members there. I hope all our members and their families and friends are safe. I was not sure if I should create a thread such as this; I was hoping someone would.

I heard that there were three separate explosions. It is not clear to me if they were the result of suicide bombers. I know there were many injuries but I did not hear how many killed.
