The latest death toll in the Mumbai train bombings is over 160.
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Bombs exploded on packed commuter trains and stations in India’s financial hub, Mumbai, on Tuesday, killing over 160 people and wounding hundreds, officials said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the seven bomb explosions that took place within about 10 minutes during evening rush hour.
But suspicion was likely to center on Muslim militants fighting New Delhi’s rule in disputed Kashmir, who have been blamed for several bomb attacks in India in the past.
“The death toll is 163 and around 460 people have been injured,” police inspector Ashok Jadhav told Reuters.
Multiple attacks, timed to maximize casualties—it’s the modus operandi of Al Qaeda.
Here are some eyewitness accounts of the horror: ‘God bless Mumbai’. (Hat tip: zombie.)
