46 killed by bombings in India

NEW DELHI, India (Reuters) - India's major cities were put on high alert on Sunday, with fears of more attacks after at least 40 people were killed in two days of bombings that hit a communally-sensitive western city and a southern IT hub

At least 16 small bombs exploded in the Indian city of Ahmedabad on Saturday, killing at least 39 people and wounding 110, a day after another set of blasts in Bangalore killed a woman.

A little known group called the "Indian Mujahideen" claimed responsibility for the Ahmedabad attack on Saturday. The same group said it carried out bombs attacks that killed 63 people in the western city of Jaipur in May.

It is unusual for any group to claim responsibility, but India says it suspects militant groups from Pakistan and Bangladesh are behind a wave of bombings in recent years, with targets ranging from mosques and Hindu temples to trains.

"The entire nation, including major metro cities in India have been put on high alert and they have been asked to step up security in vital installations," a home ministry spokesman said.

In New Delhi, police used loudspeakers and distributed leaflets in crowded market places, warning people to watch out for unclaimed baggage and suspicious objects. Police guarded Hindu temples in the eastern city of Kolkata.

There were two separate series of bombings in Ahmedadad, the first near busy market places. A second quick succession of bombs went off 20 to 25 minutes later around a hospital, where at least six people died, police said. All were

What I don't get is how could they get to plant so many bombs? It's always like this when there are bombings in India: scores of supposedly small bombs that are hidden in countless seperate locations... Well, inshallah, they'll make it happen! :|

In their own Capital State..wow

Wonder what their Motive is. Is it the Kashmir Border Issue the reason why all these bombings are occurring?

EDIT: Apparently Not

Two days after the blasts, a previously unknown Islamic militant group[6] known as Indian Mujahideen, sent an e-mail to Indian media in which they claimed responsibility for the attacks[7] and said they would "demolish the faith (Hinduism)" of the "infidels of India".[8] Though the Indian authorities said that the e-mail was genuine, they also added that there were some contradictions and the primary motive of the e-mail might be to mislead investigating agencies.[9] Indian Home Ministry sources said that a Bangladesh-based organization, Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) or "Islamic Holy War Movement", was suspected to be behind the attack. The police were also able to find credible evidence linking the suspected bombers to Bangladeshi militants[10] which resulted in backlash against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in Rajasthan.[11] India plans to expel more than 50,000 Bangladeshi migrants in Rajasthan.[12]

Didn't they screw India with 500 years of rule already, haven't they had enough

I'll laugh if they have a Navy and a satellite later this year.
