India: Hyderabad Rocked Again with Terror BlastsBy Animesh Roul
Almost after three months, Hyderabad city (India) has been rocked again by twin explosions that occurred within a gap of fifteen minutes and reportedly killed over 30 people. The first explosion took place inside Lumbini Amusement Park where a laser show was on at the time of the blast and reportedly watched by hundreds of spectators. Another blast took place at Gokul eatery in Koti area, a busy market place. Here the casualty was higher. Unofficial sources though put the toll near 40, police and eyewitnesses claim that the figure could rise as many critically injured people were taken to different hospitals in the city. Police has managed to recover another bomb from Dilsukhnagar area of the city and defused it in time, certainly averting another gruesome tragedy. The live bomb was reportedly planted underneath a foot-over-bridge with a timer set for 9.30 pm. There are reports of couple of other bombs planted and later defused by anti bomb squads. No outfit claimed responsibility so far. Islamist link(ISI-LeT-HuJI) is strongly suspected. However, police and government agencies didn’t rule out the role of Left-wing extremists who are also active in the State, though most unlikely. To recollect, on May 18 this year there was a blast inside Mecca Mosque located in the Old city in Hyderabad that killed over ten people. Times of India has a year-wise timeline of major terror bombings in India, including Today’s (Hyderabad) blast. May 2007 : A bomb at a historic Hyderabad mosque kills 11 people. September 2006 : At least 30 people are killed and 100 injured in twin blasts at a mosque in Malegaon in western India. July 2006 : Seven bombs on Mumbai's commuter trains kill more than 200 and injure more than 700 others. March 2006 : Twin bombings at a train station and a temple in the holy city of Varanasi kill 20 people. October 2005 : Three bombs placed in busy New Delhi markets one day before Diwali kill 62 people and wound hundreds. August 2003 : Two taxis packed with explosives blow up outside a Mumbai tourist attraction and a busy market, killing 52 and wounding more than 100. March 1993 : A series of bombings on Mumbai's stock exchange along with trains, hotels and gas stations in the city, killing 257 people and wounding more than 1,100. Also for details on the outfits who have been active and could be behind this (and any ) attacks in Hyderabad.
