OLD THREAD : Reports of Serial Blasts in Bangalore.

santhosh_kumard · 25th July 2008, 15:28

I heard the mobile jamming takes place for stopping any further mobile-phone-call based detonation.

vinayvtec · 25th July 2008, 15:31

Guys, its safe to be where ever you are now, try messaging your friends and relatives as the mobile service is totally jam packed.

One of my friend from UK is chatting with me now, even he is very concerned about this family at this point in time.

Coming on to road at this time is not advisable as most of the roads are blocked and traffic is jam packed.

Guys stay home or back in the office where its safe. Dont venture out till the situation eases.

Whats happening to our cities? This sucks. What is the intelligence dept. doing? Sleeping over?

Intelligence dept is mostly used to know which MP is jumping to the other ground and whats happening in other party

srishiva · 25th July 2008, 15:37

It sucks. Big time.
Hope peace will return quickly. Why can't people blast their engines, turbo them etc., instead of involving in these ghastly acts.

This seems to be a case wherein the comman man is made to suffer due to lack of co-ordination between the central govt. (Congress) and the state government (BJP). The same thing was evident when the Jaipur Blasts took place. Its high time we get rid of these parties and adopt the US system of Presidential Rule!

HappyWheels · 25th July 2008, 15:37

Man, this is really bad!

Guys, take care. Stay where you are for few more hours for things to settle down. Getting on road is not the best thing to do now.

Bangalore (rather Karnataka) has a lot of terrorist activity and this is evident from recent news were many of them were caught from smaller towns and places in Karnataka. But targetting Bangalore, that too with such a scale is new! Remember the IISc incident? Those were terrorist, weren't they?

As per one of the collegues here, one of the blast happened outside Total Mall, at Madiwala. That is the one that has be said as the strongest blast so far - 1 lady seems to have died in that!

What else!!! Now we can expect a lot of ISI blasting and what not! If it was US then it's Osama; if it is India then its ISI!!!

Same number here from my side 9 blasts . Could not confirm locations. Waiting for more news.

No panic situation atleast in Indian Express circle.

spadival · 25th July 2008, 15:42

the count is at 9 with 3 people dead and 25+ injured..the blast were timmed within 12 mins and all were low intensity crude bombs..no trace of RDX which is good.
looks like Naxal attacks and not ISI.
