Mumbai has been rocked by three explosions at busy locations in India’s business capital with reports of at least 8 dead.
• Mumbai rocked by three bomb blasts across the city
• Reports of at least 8 dead, 100 injured
• The last major attack on the city was the Nov 2008 terror attack
16.07 The Telegraph’s Pakistan correspondent, Rob Crilly, writes:
Inevitably suspicion falls on Pakistan and its Lashkar-e-Taiba terror group, which was behind the 2008 attacks. Particularly as it comes on the apparent birthday of Ajmal Qasab, the only gunman captured alive in that attack. So it’s no surprise that Pakistan’s prime minister and president have got in fast with their condemnation. Talks are due later this month between the two nuclear-armed rivals and now is a time for cool heads. This could well be linked to Mumbai’s criminal underworld or to one of India’s own terrorist groups.
