Fifteen are dead, over 100 are injured in six synchronized bombings in New Delhi, India but I'm sure we will see both the death toll and the injury toll rise. And let's see...who might have conducted these bombings? A splinter Hindu group? An angry group of Christians? Naw, this was the work of the islamic mujahadeen in India, technically the Indian Mujahadeen. The breaking news is spotty so I'll post the entire article here from Counterterrorism Blog:
India has had one rocky year with the islamists and jihadists and this is one of their most major attacks. And while this is just another example of islamic jihad in a country, it is important to note that the attacks are increasing in non-muslim countries - both India and China have seen ten times the attacks this year that they have seen before.
The especially worrisome issue in India is the powderkeg this country can be with their neighbor, Pakistan. It really never takes much for the Indians to point an accusing finger at Pakistan and for these two countries to come to blows, is not unusual.
Serial Terror Blasts Strike Indian Capital, Indian Mujahedeen Claims Responsibility
A series of explosions (at least six as per the latest inputs) have rocked Indian capital New Delhi within a span of half an hour on Saturday evening, (Sept. 13). The first explosion was reported in crowded Gaffar Market (near Karol Bagh). The second blast followed in Central Park of Connaught Place, another major hub for Delhites as well as foreigners. This was followed by two consecutive blasts in Greater Kailash-I’s M-Block market. The last couple of blasts took place on Barakhamba Road, near the Connaught Place in Central Delhi.
High alert has been sounded in other metros (e.g. Mumbai, Kolkata) after Saturday evening blasts. Police sources confirmed 15 deaths and nearly 100 people have been injured. Meanwhile, the so called Indian Mujahedeen (needless to say that IM is a front outfit of SIMI-LeT-Jaish and HuJi combine) claimed responsibility for the serial blasts which came close on the heels of similar synchronized attacks in major Indian cities Jaipur, Bangalore and Ahmadabad this year.
