Mumbai Blasts: Taliban-Style Explosive Found — Police Suspect ‘Coordinated Terrorist’ Attack (Graphic Images)

A series of three fatal blasts ravaged the city of Mumbai Wednesday, killing a reported 21 people and injuring at least 113. The explosions went off during the height of the evening rush hour, striking the town’s Opera House, a well-known jewelry store and the crowded neighborhood of Dadar. Reports tell us that a fourth explosive device was in fact found, but did not go off.

So far, no one has claimed responsibility, but if the coordinated series of three blasts and “Taliban-style” explosive device found at the scene is any indication, Islamic terrorists are indeed suspected.

According to The Daily Mail Mumbai’s police chief says at least one of the blasts was caused by a Taliban-style makeshift explosive device.

Arup Patnaik, the city’s police commissioner told local television that an improvised explosive device was concealed inside an umbrella in a jewellery shop at Jhaveri Bazaar.

A witness there described two motorcycles exploding in flames and saw at least six bodies. ‘People were shouting “Help me, help me”,’ the man told Headlines Today television.

Another witness showed cell phone video of several bodies sprawled across the street to the NDTV news station.

In Dadar the bomb exploded in a taxi next to a bus stop. An eyewitness in the area told the BBC he saw the bus top and vehicle torn apart by the explosion.

An Opera House-based diamond merchant, Sunny Ghandi, told the Financial Times there was a stampede as panic-stricken commuters fled.

The Mail also reports that police in Mumbai believe the blasts were a “series of coordinated attacks by terrorists,” due to the close timing of each of the three explosions. The city has since been put on “high alert” and has a commando team on standby.

Not long ago in 2008 Mumbai was the scene of another deadly incident in which Pakistani militants murdered over 170 people in coordinated attacks on the city’s hotels, train station and a Jewish center.

The video below provides additional coverage of the blasts:

This country needs to stop any and all funding to Pakistan. We should back India in the struggle for Kashmir. It is time to punish our enemies and reward our friends.

I have a close friend that is Indian (Hindu). He immigrated to this country and he said that Hindu’s in Indian run from Muslims like the plague. Indians cannot stand Muslims or anything about them. They fell the exact same way Americans do about this religion. The think they are terrorist also.

This is whats coming by allowing mosques to be built here at home, Exterminate these rats before they continue to build. Muslim in chief is essentially endorsing the death of Americans by allowing mosques to continue to be built. These are nothing but molesting, lying, cheating, murdering SOB’s. There is no peace when it comes to islam, Nothing more than varmin, not human, just rodents. We need to treat them like they are. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM

  They created pakistan, they should have the ability to make pakistan ‘go away’.
  Lets see, some 50 odd years ago the Indians gave over a nice chunk of their land to millions of practicianers of the religion of peace. Just gave it to them.
  And what would you expect that they’ve gotten in return over the decades? Something like three wars, ‘border disputes’ if you can believe it!, a third world barbarian state armed with nukes, sending kamikaze suicide freaks to kill your innocents in hotel and train stations. (hmm, just like they do to the Isrealis, and they’re not even Jews!) You can’t make this stuff up.
  When you compare the ancient 5000 year old civilization on the subcontinent, with the upstart 700 year old ‘religion spread by the sword’….you can’t make this stuff up…
  Go to Church, buy a gun, and study the Constitution. We will be safe in our Liberty.

Muslim’s the religion of peace.

This has to be a good religion our own president studied it for years.

Well nothing to see here folks let’s get back to building “mosques” all over the USA.

The future looks great hey if you disagree with minorities you are a racist if you disagree with muslims they kill you.

I can’t wait until the new hope and change America is finnally here.

It will be interesting to see India’s response is to this, and if the Pakistani government was involved in any way with supporting these murderers. If so, this may be what ends up creating mushroom clouds over the middle east.

It’s what they want to do on American soil. To us. To you.
Yesterday, I drove down to the city to get some chinese takeout and on SH-146 was a message board warning drivers of 9-11 style attacks. Telling people to report suspicious activity.
I live in a gas and oil producing area. No one is taking this lightly. But I learned early to watch out for my brother and my back would be watched as well. The police are on edge here for some reason too. Some are practically frantic. Something’s up. I hope I’m wrong.

  Baytown at Garth Rd was where the sign was.
  Phillips Petroleum, Chevron, Exxon, Enterprise Products.
  A lot of facilities on Spur 330, (Decker Drive).
  The sign said exactly what I typed. (9-11 style attacks). I don’t know if it was a city or state message board. Could have been either. Have you seen anything like that in your area ?

Muslims are a laugh-a-minute….aren’t they? What other religion can give you so much excitement and frivolity in just a few minutes? What other religion oozes love like blood….all over everything and everyone. We should all be clamouring to join the first mosque we encounter just to be part of this fun-loving bunch of pschopaths. ………….(sarcasm)
