A friend of mine in India just called moments ago (see time stamp) to let me know there were bombs going off in Bombay.mumbaibombay.gif

I’ve been checking online and nobody else is reporting it…CNN, FOXNEWs…

Update – BBC is reporting – attacks in at least seven locations.

“Gunmen have opened fire at a number of sites in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay), killing at least two people.”

Police say the shootings appear to be a terrorist attack.

Gunmen opened fire in a train station and at a restaurant popular with tourist injuring several people.

Shootings were reported in other parts of the city near two hotels and a hospital.

Two suspected grenade attacks have been reported.

“‘Sajjad Karim, an MEP for the North West of England who is in Mumbai, told the BBC he had seen a gunman opening fire in the lobby of Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.”

“All I saw was one man on foot carrying a machine gun type of weapon – which I then saw him firing from,” he said.”

    terrorism must be stopped by any mean. it creates
    a panic among citizen. moreover the innocent life
    of the common people those are lost in this attack
    cannot be full filled by money or by war.
    it is a disease among the uncivilized people who need proper education.
