ANOTHER BOMBS BLAST, 14 PEOPLE KILLED


A day after terrorists targeted Bangalore with eight low-intensity bomb explosions, 16 bombs went off within a span of an hour in Ahmedabad on Today evening, leaving at least 14 people killed and over 70 injured.
Several TV channels said they had received an email from a little known terror outfit called Indian Mujahiddin claiming responsibility for the terror attacks, even as intelligence sources pointed to the similarity between Saturday's blasts and those in Bangalore and Rajasthan capital Jaipur on May 13.
The targeted areas are considered 'communally sensitive'. They are mostly middle class neighbourhoods with many having a large population of migrant labour from other parts of Gujarat.
Police officials said at least 70 people were rushed to the Civil Hospital and the VS Hospital and added the number of the wounded could go up. Most of the blasts targeted the city bus service, ripping portions of buses apart. The explosives were planted on bicycles as well as tiffin or lunch boxes.
Residents in the affected areas stipulated:
"Then we saw several bicylces reduced to pieces and realised it was possibly a terror attack. Soon, we joined efforts to rescue the injured and rushing them to hospital," he said.
It is getting more and more dangereous and I am realy scared to travel and now that the terrorist are also using montain bikes , my favorite means of transport I might be even be a suspect
