Serial blasts rock Delhi; 30 dead, 90 injured

NEW DELHI: It has become nauseatingly familiar. Low-intensity bombs placed in crowded markets, killing and maiming children, their parents, unsuspecting shoppers, unmindful of their caste, creed or religion. Within a month and a half of Jaipur, Bangalore and Ahmedabad terror blasts, Delhi was mauled on Saturday leaving 30 innocents dead and 90 injured. ( Watch )

In all, five bombs went off in less than half an hour. Two of them in the heart of Delhi in Connaught Place, two at the upscale Greater Kailash M Block market in south Delhi, and one, the most damaging one, in the crowded Ghaffar Market in Karol Bagh. Three more bombs were defused, one of them at the popular Children's Park in India Gate, indicating the depraved mind of the terrorists.

The Indian Mujahideen, regarded by security agencies as a front of the Lashkar-Huji terror machine, has claimed responsibility for the blasts. The Indian Mujahideen email, titled "the Message of Death", said: "In the name of Allah, Indian Mujahideen strikes back once more. ... Do whatever you can. Stop us if you can."

1. Everyone knows Pakistan is behind this and a vast majority

of the terrorism in the world. Pakistan is miffed that India became a de facto nuclear weapons state, allowed to be engaged in nuclear commerce. It has been fascinating to me to see a series of US administrations keep funding and arming Pakistan for no good reason and which is detrimental to India.

Hopefully President Obama will stop the nonsense.

2. Pakistan is playing a dangerous game

the same Jihadist they cultivated to fight a proxy war against India is now killing Pakistanis.

You live by the sword, you die from it too.

I dont think Pakistan is going to exist in the same form as it does today for very long.

3. Whoa Nelly... India has its very own homegrown revolutionaries

and jihadis. They really don't need to import. Unfortunately, the net result will almost certainly strengthen the Hindu National Party.

Don't ever think of India as homogeneous (it's not).

4. You seem to be an authority on India

5. Enough of one anyway... India has their very own internal troubles

They do love to blame things on Pakistan though...
