7 blasts rock Bangalore; two killed, 70 wounded

It has been more hurting as the news is coming...

The blast has once again proven that we and our government need to work out something together... these kinds of activities leave us in great despair but time to react and let the terrorist know that we are not going to be any inch down to fight them back... they need not be happy on their ill deed that happened today... strong measures need to be taken if there is a time to do it ... its now only...

According to Bangalore Police Commissioner, Shankar Bidari, seven blasts rocked Bangalore.

The blasts took place at the Madiwala bus depot, Mysore road, Adugudi, Adugudi, Koramangla, Vittal Mallaya road, Langford Town and Richmond Town. The blasts took place within a span of 60 minutes. (Map: Bangalore blasts sites)

"In all these cases they have created the blast using timer devices," Bangalore Commissioner of Police Shankar Bidari told reporters at the site of one of the blasts.

"Explosives have also been used, in quantity equal to one or two grenades."

The police sources also said that these terror attacks bear the hallmarks of Bangladesh outfit HuJi.

Some IT firms, as well as schools, colleges, malls and cinemas closed after news of the blasts broke. Phone lines were jammed.

"I was on my way to office when we heard a noise," witness Arun Daniel told a news channel. "It sounded like a cracker. The traffic was blocked, everyone was running around. It was not a severe blast."

A TV channel showed a small shopping stall in Bangalore with broken windows and its concrete floors broken in pieces. Rubble littered another site.

M R Pujar, additional police commissioner for Bangalore said "crude explosives" had been used. "There were seven low-intensity explosions," he said. "Some of them were in crowded areas."

Bomb disposal squads have reached the blasts sites.

According to IB sources, SIMI and LeT may be behind the Bangalore blasts and they could be retaliatory in nature.

Union Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta has said that, "we are in the initial stages of the investigation. We are in constant touch with the state government. We hope to have a detailed report by evening.

The injured have been admitted to the St Johns Hospital in Bangalore.
