Mumbai: Explosions shake India's financial hub
Three near-simultaneous explosions have shaken India's commercial capital Mumbai (Bombay), police say.
Twenty-one people were killed and 113 injured, said Maharashtra state's Chief Minister, Prithviraj Chavan.
He called the explosions, during Mumbai's busy evening rush-hour, "a co-ordinated attack by terrorists".
One explosion was reported in the Zaveri Bazaar, another in the Opera House business district and a third in Dadar district in the city centre.
Police sources were reported as saying the explosions were caused by home-made bombs.
The attacks are the deadliest in Mumbai since November 2008 when 10 gunmen launched a three-day co-ordinated raid in which 166 people were killed.

The three explosions in Mumbai have taken place in some of the most crowded neighbourhoods in the city.
Zaveri Bazaar is a bustling market area famous for its jewellers. It has been targeted before: during the serial blasts in the city in 1993, 17 people were killed and 57 injured when a scooter packed with explosives blew up there.
Opera House, next door, is also a bustling business district teeming with traders. And Dadar, in the heart of the city, has one of the most crowded railway stations on Mumbai's busy suburban train network.
The choice of locations makes it clear that the blasts were intended to cause maximum casualties. But early footage of one of the blast sites - a ripped-off cover of a bus shelter and a car with its glass shattered - points to a medium-level and possibly crude explosion.
So far, there is no evidence to suggest that Mumbai is under attack the way it was in November 2008. And this could easily be the handiwork of a local group.
The BBC's Soutik Biswas, in Delhi, says there is no evidence so far to suggest that Mumbai is under attack in the same way.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh denounced the bombings and appealed to Mumbai residents "to remain calm and show a united face".
US President Barack Obama strongly condemned the "outrageous" attacks, and offered "support to India's efforts to bring the perpetrators of these terrible crimes to justice".
High alert
The latest explosions hit the city as workers were making their way home.
The first struck the Zaveri Bazaar at 1854 (1324 GMT), tearing through the famed jewellery market, according to police. A minute later, a second blast hit the busy business district of Opera House, in the south of the city. At 1905, the third bomb exploded in the Dadar area of central Mumbai.
Because the explosions occurred within minutes of each other, "we infer that this was a co-ordinated attack by terrorists", Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram told reporters.
Mumbai had been put on a state of high alert and a commando team was standing by, he said. Delhi, the capital, Calcutta and several other cities have also been put on alert.
Forensics teams have been sent from Delhi and Hyderabad to examine the explosion sites.
The authorities have not yet said who they believe might be behind the explosions and no group has said it carried them out.
In Zaveri Bazaar, witnesses described a motorcycle exploding next to a jewellery shop. Mumbai Police Commissioner Arup Patnaik said a bomb had been left in an abandoned umbrella.
Mumbai has been targeted many times in recent years, most notably in 2008
Photographer Rutavi Mehta told the BBC he was shopping nearby and heard the explosion. He grabbed his camera and ran to the scene.
"I took a couple of photographs. I think they might be too graphic for broadcast," he said.
"Bodies and limbs were strewn everywhere. People were crying and screaming. The area was packed with shoppers at the time of the blast. A few offered assistance to the blood-soaked victims, while others looked on in a state of shock," he said.
"It was totally chaos. There were pools of blood everywhere."
The second and most powerful blast was in the nearby Opera House district. Local media said it was planted inside the two-storey Prasad Chamber building.
In the central Dadar district, the bomb tore apart a taxi that was parked next to a bus stop, witnesses told the BBC. It was unclear whether the explosives were planted inside the vehicle or in a nearby electricity meter box.
"I heard a loud explosion. And then I saw people with serious injuries lying in pools of blood," another person told the Times of India.
An unexploded bomb was also reportedly been found in Dadar.
According to some reports, the blasts came on the birthday of Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab, the sole surviving gunman from the 2008 attacks. But court records show his birthday to be in September.
Those attacks, which targeted two high-end hotels, a busy train station, a Jewish centre and other sites frequented by foreigners, were blamed on the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group.
Pakistan was quick to condemn the latest explosions, in a statement issued by the foreign ministry.
Peace talks between Pakistan and India have only recently resumed since they were broken off after the 2008 attacks.
Mumbai has been targeted many times in recent years.
As well as the 2008 attacks, co-ordinated blasts on seven of the city's trains on 11 July 2006 caused massive loss of life. More than 180 people were killed and hundreds wounded in those bombings, which were blamed on Islamist militants.
The city suffered four bomb attacks during 2003, including twin blasts on 25 August 2003 which killed 52 people.
In 1993, 257 people were killed and 700 injured in a series of 12 bomb blasts across the city. The attacks were allegedly ordered by the Muslim-dominated underworld in retaliation for Hindu-Muslim riots.

ممبئ دھماکوں پر امريکی صدر اوبامہ کا بیان
ميں ممبئ ميں اشتعال انگيز حملوں کی پرزور مذمت کرتا ہوں اور ميرے جذبات اور دعائيں ان لوگوں کے ساتھ ہيں جو ان حملوں ميں زخمی ہوۓ ہيں اور جن کے پيارے ان حملوں ميں ہلاک ہوۓ ہيں۔ امريکی حکومت اپنے شہريوں کی حفاظت اور سيکورٹی سميت بدستور ساری صورت حال پر نظر رکھے ہوۓ ہے۔ بھارت امريکہ کا قريبی دوست اور پارٹنر ہے۔ امريکی عوام اس مشکل گھڑی ميں بھارتی عوام کے ساتھ ہيں اور ہم ان پرتشدد جرائم کے ذمہ داروں کو قانون کے کٹہرے ميں لانے کے لیے بھارت کی کاوشوں کے ضمن ميں ہر قسم کا تعاون فراہم کرنے کے لیے تيار ہيں۔ اپنے دورہ ممبئ کے دوران ميں نے بذات خود بھارتی عوام کی قوت اور ثابت قدمی کا مشاہدہ کيا تھا اور مجھے اس ميں کوئ شک نہيں کہ بھارت دہشت گردی کے ان ہولناک حملوں پر قابو پا لے گا۔

To hell with Obama. Who cares what he has to say. We are worried about our a$$es because the blame will be put on Pakistan and Mr. Obama will follow suit and start mounting further pressure on Pakistan. In the and I hope he kicks your *** out of the digital out reach program.

When ever there is any blast anywhere in the world, Guess who is going to be the top suspect? Muslims. It is not India alone the only difference is that they will suspect Pakistani link to it. Al Queda so far hava not acted against India, they concentrate their activities toward west.
Pakistan have a long track of harboring and supporting terrorists who are bent on attacking India. Their war against terror is only limited to anti-west groups. There is very little resistance to these groups from general public. We don't know who is responsible for this attack hopefully it will be investigated with assistance from FBI and other investigative agencies so the truth could come out.

My condolences to the families of people killed and hope the injured get well soon. I am against blasts like this, be it happens in India or Pakistan or anywhere in the world. Investigations are on and hope some truth will come out. It has been heavily raining in Mumbai since evening and that might wash away some of the clues.
Who ever is behind this, they should understand that you cannot bully 1.2 billion people just by killing few hundreds. These acts only make the will of the people more stronger and not to be cowed upon.

Not yet confirmed. The Home Minister P.Chidambaram has visited the sites around midnight and that shows how serious we are to find out the truth.
The serial blasts are the invention of Dawood Ibrahim in July 2006. If Pakistan could hand over him, then probably some progress can be made in future.

I searched more than one thousand years of the history and it was silent about your "courage". And there were hindu necks under the Muslim feet. As regards the 1971 it was not a war it was a Chankia treachery. However, we acknowledge the receipt that it is your debt on us. Which we are going to pay very soon, and Insha'Allah pay with compound interest.
