At 19.24 just a few moment after I’ve done my Ashr prayer, Mr. Amar Makruf, Minister Councillor KBRI (Indonesia Embassy) New Delhi sms-ed me telling me about several bomb blasts just took place in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), the industrial capital of India with 22 deaths and 150 injured and he offered the condolences to those victims and families and hoped that it would not occur in any other parts of Indian cities including in New Delhi where many Indonesians reside.
I quickly turned the TV on and watched the continuous LIVE coverage of Indian local news channels. So, the serial bomb blast occurred between 18.00 – 18.30 local time (+5.30 GMT)
The dead victim keeps mounting. Until this time, over 160 deads and many more injured. The eight blasts took place in seven railway stations all are in Mumbai. And there was one bomb which was successfully defused before going off.
According to some police officers interviewed by various local news channels, the bombs were left inside the bags mostly within the train compartments.
Who’s Done it?
Some analysts point their fingers to Pakistan as a force behind that blasts. An allegation denied by Indian government, at least for the time being. While others think there’s a link between the Mumbai blast with the similar incident in separatist-torn state of Jammu and Kashmir. Either way, it is a sad day for humanity who long for peaceful and prosperity life.
