Bombs go off in India, kill dozens

chicagotribune.com — Five bombs ripped through crowded parts of an ancient city in western India on Tuesday, killing at least 30 people and wounding 100 others, police said. The explosions in Jaipur took place in markets and several other areas of the city in Rajasthan, a region dotted with palaces and temples that draw hundreds of thousands of Indian and foreign...

    • sanman, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2An e-mail along with a video clip of the PRE-BLAST FOOTAGE has been sent exclusively to the TV news programs Aaj Tak and Headlines Today, almost 24-hours after the blast.

      In the video footage a bicycle with a bag on its carrier allegedly loaded with explosives is shown. The bicycle's frame no. is 129489. It was positioned near the Choti Chaupal area.

      The e-mail that has been sent by a lesser known terrorist outfit 'Indian Mujahideen' that warns the Indian government of similar attacks in the future if the government continues to support US and its policies.

      The e-mail claims that the blasts were intended to hit the tourism sector of Rajasthan.

      The outfit has threatened of similar attacks in the four metros cities vis Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.

      The e-mail id from which the news show Aaj Tak has received the e-mail is guru_alhindi_jaipur@yahoo.co.UK.

      • jmpeagle, on 05/14/2008, -0/+5just to forewarn others...those are pretty graphic compared to your normal newspaper pictures. Dead bodies, and severed body parts. Shows how tragic it is but maybe they are not for everyone.
        • TheThirdLevel, on 05/14/2008, -0/+5Thats because, for the most part, Indian newspapers show the gruesome truth, not necessarily what the publics wants to hear.
          • chicofaraby, on 05/14/2008, -2/+1That's weird. Why would they attempt to report accurately? Doesn't that cut into their corporate ownership's profits?

      When street gangs commit crimes, maybe we should just carpet bomb the city they live in.

    • LiquidIse, on 05/14/2008, -0/+4There is this thing called religion, and while it works for many people, some overzealous ***** pick out every difference they can and will get upset enough to kill for it.
      Its basically a 5000 year-old OS war
    • sanman, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2Well, just look at oMessiaho and his comments on this page. He's busily justifying the attacks. And he's bringing up any issue he can, in order to do it. That's pathetic. What a hater.

        • zolthar, on 05/14/2008, -0/+4Yes they do.
          They blow each other's mosques in Iraq.
          They slaughtered their own people in Gaza for political take over, as soon as their clerics permitted manslaughter.
        • cutekelvins, on 05/14/2008, -0/+3clerics permitted manslaughter. Are we in 10th century ?
    • thepeacemaker, on 05/14/2008, -5/+5Indian govt promised a plebiscite/referendum to the people of Kashmir regarding their status after independence from British more than 50 years ago - join India or Pakistan or choose independence. That never materialized for a variety of reasons. Kashmiris who happen to be majority Muslims weren't pleased. Kashmiris still want independence but Indian govt is forcefully maintaining control sort of like China/Tibet, Russia/Chechnya, Iraq/Kurdistan, etc.
      • cutekelvins, on 05/14/2008, -2/+6First off, does it mean to kill people. Look at tibetians, they never resorted to violence. It is "not" mostly kashmiris who is doing all violent things. These people are properly supported by fuctards like pakistan and bangladesh who can not chew the prosperity of India.

        Moreover it was on head of the state to decide which side he want to join during the time of independence on which side to join and the head of the state of kashmir decided to be independent. But when he saw that pakistan is forcibly taking up its territory, he decided to join India because he saw a better future of kashmiris with India not with Pakistan.

        If we wanted to take full kashmir, we had done in 1971 itself when all your coward military surrendered to India. I guess the number was 90,000, the largest after WW2.

        Moreover, we dont believe that hindu muslims are separate as you believe. We never imposed our religion as you did. We never occupied any foreign territory in the last 5000 years. Impeccable record for any country so far.

        Come on man, Pakistan is fully exposed after 9/11. For every terrorist attack the starting point has been traced to Pakistan. People have been traced to pakistan not indian kashmir. Who are you fooling by saying Indian kashmiris are doing so. We have more muslims than your country has it.
        • oMeSSiaHo, on 05/14/2008, -4/+3Does that excuse India from cutting open expecting mothers stomachs and killing their babies. India has been torturing people for fifty years. They share the same, if not more, blame as Pakistan.
          • sanman, on 05/14/2008, -1/+2Just keep repeating a lie again and again, until it becomes the "truth"
        • cutekelvins, on 05/14/2008, -2/+7No one is doing so. These stories are cooked up by Pakistanis.
          • oMeSSiaHo, on 05/14/2008, -2/+2Prove it to me. And prove that all the human rights groups that have reports on India's abuses cooked up those stories as well.

            I'll be waiting.
          • cutekelvins, on 05/14/2008, -2/+2http://www.ipcs.org/Kashmir_articles2.jsp?action=s ...

            BTW you seems to be supporting killings of innocent people.
          • oMeSSiaHo, on 05/14/2008, -2/+2That doesnt disprove anything. And I am not supporting the killings of innocent people. You seem to with your calls for nuclear war though.
          • sanman, on 05/14/2008, -1/+2No, you are supporting the killing of innocent people oMessiaho. I was looking at your various comments, and you're attempting to create justification for acts of terrorism. Your disclaimers to the contrary are worthless. You're using the Kashmir issue, where a guerrilla insurgency is being directly supported by Pakistan, to justify further acts of terror against Indians. That's the long and the short of it. Are you Pakistani, by any chance? Either that, or you're some kind of fundamentalist.
      • sanman, on 05/14/2008, -1/+3So-called "peacemaker" (pretty fake name) - firstly, the plebiscite was to be conducted if and when Pakistan withdraws its invasion forces from Kashmir. Secondly, it was to be conducted across all of Kashmir as a whole, including the parts that Pakistan has now annexed away from Kashmir, and also the parts that Pakistan has given away to China. India has played it by the book, while Pakistan has lied, schemed and murdered its way at every step. You only have to see Pakistan's current support for the Taliban and its role in causing the 9/11 attacks, to see what Pakistan is all about. They ask for Western aid, while arming more terror attacks against the West. They claim to want peace with India, while orchestrating more terror attacks against it.
      • Incman, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Oh.. cut the crap. Stop manupilating facts. World leaders are aware of India's stance on Kashmir and have supported it forever. Only some muslim countries support Pakistan's stance on Kashmir. India agreed to hold a plebiscite in Kashmir but under the condition that it was held in entire Kashmir including those parts under Pakistan and China to which neither Pakistan nor China agreed. Besides, Pakistan carried out a large influx of non-Kashmiris into its part of Kashmir changing its demographics remarkably.

        Even then, by killing innocent people these Pakistanis have showed what big cowards, mentally *****-up people they are. The world has had enough of these Islamists.
    • Duggan360, on 05/14/2008, -2/+3I know =( they gave us curry, and kebabs!!!! Yum
      • tushyd, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2Yup, that's what they're known for worldwide. Not Yoga or Ayurvedic medicine, but curry.
      • Duggan360, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2Don't tell me you prefer doing yoga over eating curry!!!
      • Incman, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2And what about Kamasutra? Yoga? Ayurveda? Tech support? Number Zero?...
    • oMeSSiaHo, on 05/14/2008, -3/+2They violently maintain control of a region that doesnt want them. They take many liberties with human rights (torture, kidnapping and murder) and have been in trouble for doing so.

      I'm not saying that excuses killing citizens, just that India isnt above doing the same thing. They do tend to do it more and in more horrific ways.
      • sanman, on 05/14/2008, -0/+3Your disclaimers about not supporting terror killings are disingenuous posturing. Clearly, you're trying to inject the Kashmir issue here, in order to make that very justification that you claim not to want. Kashmir is under attack by Pakistan and its Islamic fundamentalist guerrillas. India is fighting off an attack against its own territory. Kashmiris have participated in more Indian elections than Pakistanis have held in all of Pakistan's undemocratic history. So all you're doing is feeding a lie -- for what purpose I don't know. Either you're Pakistani, or some other kind of fundamentalist. India a secular, democratic, and pluralistic country. I don't find any credibility in you whatsoever.
      • Incman, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Few people make an issue out of Kashmir for their own selfish political gains. And not to forget those Pakistani agents working in Kashmir and spreading false anti-India propaganda. Kashmir has a small but highly vocal minority which wants independence but fact remains majority of Kashmiris prefer Indian rule over independence and Pakistani rule. If Kashmiris didn't prefer India, things would've been more violent and Kashmiri separatists didn't have to resort to terrorist activities against India.

        I agree that the Indian Army has committed some Human RIghts violations but that is nothing compared to those done by Kashmiri militants. And even those human rights violations by Indian troops were either unintentional or acts done in a moment of madness by junior Indian officers. But those done by militants are done with a prime motive of creating fear. Kashmiri separatists kill Kashmiris in the name of Kashmir! What non-sense!
  • oldhick, on 05/14/2008, -0/+8Why the hell do people bomb civilian targets? This isn't even collateral damage from some military or establishment target. What could possibly be threatening or dangerous about a market? These cowards disgust me.
    • zolthar, on 05/14/2008, -1/+3That's what Terrorism is all about.
      It is not intended to inflict major damage on a country, but change the public opinions of it's victims, as if saying: next time it will be you, or your friends, or your children.
    • tushyd, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2To create fear and panic.
    • oldhick, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I meant that semi-rhetorically, but I didn't clarify so thanks. I just mean, how can one sleep at night knowing they are intentionally targeting and killing innocent women and children.
  • Duggan360, on 05/14/2008, -4/+4Should of said thousands, Sure you'd be lying, But you would get more diggs
    • ColonelTribune, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Ha. If you want, when you shout it, you can say that.
  • digjam, on 05/14/2008, -1/+5It sucks to see peaceful cities like Jaipur becoming targets now. It was Delhi and Mumbai for so many years...now these retards are targetting temples in small cities and cities like bangalore and jaipur to scare ppl to death.
    Wonder what Mush did to become a Bush confidant...damn they should ve been nuked long time ago!
    • oMeSSiaHo, on 05/14/2008, -2/+2I cant believe you spoke out against killing innocent people and in THE SAME ***** POST said a whole country should be nuked. Are you stupid or just a hypocrite?
      • sanman, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2Spare us your hysteria and histrionics. You're obviously Pakistani, and your statements clearly support terrorist attacks, despite your disingenuous denials. If another attack occurred in India tomorrow, you'd once again be bringing up the Kashmir dispute in order to justify those attacks. So really, you do support terror attacks, in spite of your disclaimers. This is why Muslims have such poor relations with every other ethnic group on the planet -- because of people like you. This is why non-Muslims from all parts of the world are increasingly banding together, in order to defend ourselves from people like you.
        You're the one who's intolerant. You're the one who doesn't want to coexist.
  • justinx0r, on 05/14/2008, -0/+4***** these people who think they can just blow up civilians indiscriminately.

    India makes China look kind and generous to Tibet. I am not saying these attacks are justified, killing innocent people never is. I am just saying do some research before you make comments about nuking Pakistan. India is just as bad and should be held to the same standards.
    • cutekelvins, on 05/14/2008, -1/+2Of course you are justifying terror. Pakistan deserved to be nuked. China look generous because they ally to Pakistan. I can give thousands of links which show the extent of damages that Pakistani Terrorist has done to the world. India, 9/11, Madrid, London, Daniel Pearl are few achievements. Just see these links as well

    • oMeSSiaHo, on 05/14/2008, -3/+2Pakistan was nuked?! When did that happen?! Your very fist sentence tells me I shouldnt take you seriously!

      You are also confusing Pakistani terrorist with Pakistan. The terrorists (a good portion of which werent even from Pakistan but neighboring countries) carry out attacks not the whole country. Should we nuke India because they torture and kill innocent people?

      Also, China's treatment of Tibet looks kind compared to India's treatment of Kashmir. You dont even understand what I am saying...
      • cutekelvins, on 05/14/2008, -0/+5looks kind? because they dont let world see it.
        • oMeSSiaHo, on 05/14/2008, -3/+2So you are forgiving India because their violations are more public?!

          They dont even need to charge people for crimes to arrest them. They can hold people for two years without charging them, its a ***** law! Tell me how that is ok!
          • sanman, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2What crap. India is fighting a rabidly militant Islamic fundamentalist terror campaign waged by Pakistan. This is the same Pakistan that avidly backs the Taliban, even while demanding more aid from the West under the pretense that it's fighting the Taliban. And this is because Pakistan has always played the game of backing Islamist militants, and training them by the hundreds of thousands in fanatical madrassas, in order to get what it wants from its neighbors and from the world. Look at the unending stream of accusations from the Afghan govt, about how Pakistan is constantly using Islamist militants to destabilize them. Pakistan does this against all its neighbors. Even their patron China has complained to them about terror attacks.
        • cutekelvins, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Yeah some laws need to be changed. Things are not going good on this front but does it justify support to terrorists against India. LeT JeM et al. openly show up guns in Pakistan. Terrorism has come down in the last 4 years because of pressure from US and the world. Pakistan is suffering from these terrorists as well and they still dont understand the pain. Listen terrorists do not friend of anybody. Not even US, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

          Let the incidents of terrorism come down to zero, security forces will move to borders away from the cities. No body is interested to police anyone.
  • snickhill, on 05/14/2008, -0/+5sad ass pakis..neither they develop nor allow country which is trying to.
