At least 20 dead in Bombay train blasts
5 minutes ago
BOMBAY, India - Seven explosions hit Bombay's commuter rail network Tuesday evening during rush hour, ripping apart train compartments, officials said. Indian television reported dozens may have been killed.
Chaos engulfed the crowded rail network in India's financial capital following the blasts, and authorities struggled to determine the number of casualties.
Indian television reported the death toll could be in the dozens. News channels broadcast video of the wounded sprawled on train tracks and being carried through stations to ambulances, past twisted and torn train compartments.
Witnesses reported seeing bodies parts strewn about stations.
Pranay Prabhakar, the spokesman for the Western Railway, confirmed that seven blasts had taken place.
He said all trains had been suspended and appealed to the public to stay away from train stations in the city.
The blasts appeared to have come in quick succession — a common tactic employed by Kashmiri militants that have repeatedly targeted India's cities.
The first explosion hit the train at a railway station in the northwestern suburb of Khar, said a police officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
India's CNN-IBN television news, which had a reporter traveling on the train, said the blast took place in a first-class car as the train was moving, ripping through the compartment and killing more than a dozen people.
Another CNN-IBN reporter said he had seen more than 20 bodies at one Bombay hospital.
All of India's major cities were reportedly on high alert following the attacks, which came hours after a series of grenade attacks by Islamic extremists killed eight people in the main city of India's part of

Dear Terrorist,
Even if you are not reading this we don't care. Time and again you tried to disturb us anddisrupt our life - killing innocent civilians by planting bombs in trains, buses and cars. Youhave tried hard to bring death and destruction, cause panic and fear and create communaldisharmony but everytime you were disgustingly unsuccessful. Do you know how we pass our life inMumbai? How much it takes for us to earn that single rupee? If you wanted to give us a shockthen we are sorry to say that you failed miserably in your ulterior motives. Better lookelsewere, not here.
We are not Hindus and Muslims or Gujaratis and Marathis or Punjabis and Bengaliies. Nor do wedistinguish ourselves as owners or workers, govt.employees or private employees. WE ARE MUMBAIKERS (Bombay-ites, if you like). We will not allowyou to disrupt our life like this. On the last few occassions when you struck (including the 7deadly blasts in a single day killing over 250 people and injuring 500+ in 1993), we went towork next day in full strength. This time we cleared everything within a few hours and were backto normal - the vendors placing their next order, businessmen finalizing the next deals and theoffice workers rushing to catch the next train. (Yes the same train you targetted)
Fathom this: Within 3 hours of the blasts, long queues of blood donating volunteers were seenoutside various hospital, where most of the injured were admitted. By 12 midnight, the hospitalhad to issue a notification that blood banks were full and they didn't require any more blood.The next day, attendance at schools and office was close to 100%, trains & buses were packed tothe brim, the crowds were back.The city has simply dusted itself off and moved one - perhaps with greater vigour.
We are Mumbaikers and we live like brothers in times like this. So, do not dare to threaten uswith your crackers. The spirit of Mumbai is very strong and can not be harmed.
Please forward this to others. U never know, by chance it may come to hands of a terrorist inAfghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq and he can then read this message which is specially meant forhim!!!
With Love,From the people of Mumbai (Bombay)
