World: Mumbai bombings: Authorities don’t know who’s responsible

  • 130 people wounded during yesterday’s bombings in Mumbai, the deadliest terror attack there since 2008
  • 17 people killed in the apparent terrorist attack; no suspect has been discovered yet source
  • » Following the trail: Authorities are looking over video tapes to see if they can identify who planted the bombs — made in part from ammonium nitrate, a compound found in fertilizer. Indian authorities are looking hard at Pakistan, as they were responsible for a deadly attack in 2008. Let’s just hope that Pakistan isn’t responsible. The two countries are participating in peace talks at the moment, the last thing they need is an incident like this to turn them more against each other.

World: Mumbai is on high alert, explosions may be terrorism

  • The entire city of Mumbai has been placed on high alert. I would appeal to the people of Mumbai to remain calm and maintain the peace.
  • Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram • Talking about the state of Mumbai after three explosions rocked the city. Chidambaram is saying this is an act of terrorism, but it’s unclear if that’s really the case – no organization has come forward to claim responsibility for the attack. It’s also unclear how many have been killed/wounded from the explosions — CNN is reporting over 20 dead and hundreds injured, while the LA Times says only 13 are dead and dozens more – we’ll continue to keep an eye on this for you. source
