Dear Netters: ? I am really shocked to learn that 3 blasts rocked Mumbai today, 21 dead, 141 wounded. According to Police, it was a terrorist attack. ? This to happen to a peace-loving country like ours! Even Pakistan commisserated us as soon as this news reached them. ? The following piece from Times of India? throws some light:??? ? MUMBAI: The jinx associated with number '13' seems to hold true for the country with four bomb blasts taking place on this date during the last three years.
Mumbai's diamond district Zaveri Bazaar and two other bustling markets Opera
and Dadar were today hit by three consecutive blasts, killing at least 13 and
injuring about 100.
On February 13 last year, 17 people were killed and over 60 injured when the
famous German Bakery in Pune was hit by a bomb blast. The bakery which was
frequented by foreigners came under attack a day before Valentine's Day when
young crowd throng the eatery.
In May 13, 2008, Jaipur was hit by a series of nine synchronised bomb blasts
within 15 minutes across different locations of the 'Pink City'.
The blasts -- first terror attack on this tourist destination -- killed 68
people and injured over 214.
Same year on September 13, six blasts took place in the national capital
killing 26 people. The blasts took place in crowded markets of Karol Bagh,
Connaught Place and Greater Kailash.
All these blasts save one, the German Bakery, have some common points -- all
these bombs were synchronised and timed to explode within a very short span of
time, crowded markets were the targets and the blasts occurred in evening when
these places swell with customers.
