16 Bomb Blasts Rocked Indian City Today Claiming 32 Innocent Lives
Dr. Smile 26 July, 2008 At least 16 small bombs exploded in the Indian city of Ahmedabad on Saturday, killing at least 32 people and wounding more than 150, a day after another set of blasts in the country’s IT hub.
On Friday, eight bombs exploded in quick succession in the southern information technology city of Bangalore, killing at least one person and wounding six others.
Saturday’s blasts were in Ahmedabad’s crowded old city dominated by its Muslim community. “The blasts occurred in 90 minutes, one in a hospital, others in the old city of Ahmedabad,” Narendra Modi, the state’s Hindu-nationalist chief minister told reporters.
There were two separate series of bombings, the first near busy market places. A second quick succession of bombs went off 20 to 25 minutes later around a hospital, where at least six people died, police said.
Parmar, joint commissioner of Ahmedbad police said that the police are on the lookout for more live bombs. The explosions occurred at Maninagar, Isanpur, Narol circle, Bapunagar, Hatkeshwar and Sarangpur bridge, Sarkej and Odhav and created a wave of panic.
Crowded areas including market places were hit in the synchronised ‘low-intensity’ explosions in a space of 60 to 70 minutes after the first blast hit Maninagar at 6.45 pm. The bombs placed in tiffin boxes were strapped on to bicycles. Some of the blast sites were in sensitive areas in the old city but the situation was peaceful as the night wore on.

If I have read about bomb at certain places I wouldn’t go at all. Not even if you give me a free stay and free flight to go. I don’t want to risk my life.
Well i didn’t come to know about this explosion until i went out purchasing a few things for home. Actually i don’t watch the news much but then when i was out there buying a pack of lays they told me it was out of stock due to the bombing in Ahmadabad .
They told me a karfeu has been set up there. So i am actually really sad for the people who lost their lives in the explosion . Hope they find their Peace
My family and friend been telling me that they don’t want go holiday at the moment most probably is money problem.
I don’t know why they still want bombing.. as when they will be peace..
I heard the kurfeu has been taken out but yes strictness is still being maintained in that area loads of police are parolling in the area.
something dat i really don’t understand is dat why do these people blow bombs in da middle of a city and kili innocent lives…that makes no sense. war is understood, but this is like purposless..
