Truly a horrific act! With one purpose. To kill innocent people for no reason whatsoever...you have to wonder what kind of brains come up with this.

Its a different story that Mumbai as a city will get past this eventually, but my heart goes out to people whose lives are now forever altered due to this tragedy. People who won't be able to just "move on"...

Are you there?

There can be no second opinion about everyone wanting that terrorism must be nipped in the bud, terrorists should not be shown any mercy. The world leaders as usual have proclaimed “We are with India in this hour of need. “The dastardly act perpetrated on innocent people is totally condemnable”. If we go back in 1992 Mumbai blasts also the same words would have been uttered. Now it is 2006. If something were to occur 14 years plus i.e. in 2020, then also the world leaders would issue identical statements. It is as if they have it cyclostyled or Xeroxed these statements, ready for issuing.
Someone has mentioned something like “All religions have preached great ideals for mankind to follow. In the same breath we can say that all religions have defects because it is man who created religion”. If I name the person I may be accused of being repetitive. Suffice is to say, we are afraid to face the truth but will keep on endlessly complaining about terrorism. The truth is that we have shamelessly destroyed and are destroying Mother Earth. We are stripping the planet off its natural resources in the name of economic growth and go to war with each other for the sake of political power. We have done most damage and destruction during the last 80 or 100 years than during the previous 8000 or 10, 000 years. If anyone points it out he or she may be branded “not progressive thinking but –ve thinking person”. Unless we not only stop this destruction of our planet, but also reverse this mad drive, terrorism is bound to happen in one place or other, one time or other, somewhere in this world. Are we willing to learn and change our ways. It looks very unlikely, even if someone drives an aircraft between us and the computer screen in front.

What's adding to the chaos is the band of ministers visiting the city. These ministers still need their ZZ level security and the police already have their hands full with investigation, relief and rehabilitation. Plus there's added chaos at the airport and the ministers visit has further frenzied the already over hectic western express highway because the ministers are obviously too precious to get caught up in traffic.

Was local neta the pointman?



Intelligence agencies say he recruited over a thousand people from UP in the past six months


The central intelligence agencies and the Anti-Terrorist Squad of the Mumbai police believe a politician with considerable following among the minorities in Mumbai may have played a crucial role in Tuesday�s serial blasts.

The blasts, a senior ATS officer said, seemed to be a reprisal for the death of two members of a minority community in police firing in Bhiwandi last week.

The politician, whom the ATS sleuths are likely to call for questioning soon, had played a key role in fomenting trouble in the aftermath of the Bhiwandi firing incident.

According to the information available with ATS, this politician recruited over a thousand people from Uttar Pradesh in the past six months. The recruits, an ATS officer said, are now part of several well-knit terrorist sleeper cells in Mumbai. The ATS had held two back-to-back meetings with the state and central intelligence agencies after the trouble in Bhiwandi. The ATS for the past several months has also been tracking the flow of funds to this Mumbai politician from mysterious sources in the Gulf.

A sleeper cell can be activated in as short a notice as 24 hours. As per the intelligence collected so far, the serial blasts of Tuesday might be a reaction to what happened in Bhiwandi last week, said a senior IB official in Mumbai.

Just last month, the ATS had busted a couple of sleeper cells and arrested 13 men from Malegaon and Aurangabad with RDX and guns.

According to an officer of the Inspector General rank, Tuesday's blasts could be the handiwork of some local groups who knew about the important role the Western line plays in keeping the city on the move.

The officer added that the people who executed the blasts appeared to have good understanding of the functioning of the local train network and the train time tables. The fact they picked the evening rush hour also indicates local knowledge, he said.
