India on alert after Blasts in two cities

Indian cities were put on high alert on Sunday after at least 50 people were killed in two days of bombings that hit Ahmedabad and Bangalore.
16 bombs exploded in Ahmedabad on Saturday, killing at least 45 people and wounding 161, a day after 7 blasts in Bangalore killing a woman.

Two more unexploded car bombs were found in the city of Surat on Sunday, one of the world's biggest diamond-polishing centres.

A group called the ‘Indian Mujahideen’ claimed responsibility for the blasts on Saturday. The same group said it carried out bomb attacks in Jaipur that killed 63 people in May. It also targets Maharashtra CM and Mukesh Amabani and Narendra Modi for anti muslim activities.

But Govt suspects terror groups from Pakistan and Bangladesh are behind a wave of bombings in recent years, with targets ranging from mosques and temples to trains.
Indian mujahideen might well be the mask of Lashkars and SIMIs.

"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.

People are warned about unclaimed baggages and suspicious objects.

This is the first time that Hospitals were also targetted showing the arrogance and ugly face of terrorism.
Two doctors were killed in the hospital in a blast in which at least one bomb was tied onto a gas cylinder. Charred motorcycles and bicycles were shown outside. TV showed victims writhing in pain and covered in blood on hospital floors.

The other bombs were in Ahmedabad's crowded old city dominated by its Muslim community. Many of the bombs were packed into metal tiffin boxes, used to carry food, and stuffed with ball-bearings. Some were left on bicycles.

Police found two unexploded bombs in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The state Government ordered the closure of all shops, cinemas and markets and told people to stay indoors.

Since both Karnataka and Gujarat are BJP ruled states ,other BJP ruling states like Madhya pradesh, Himachal are also put on high alert.
CM Narendra Modi has asked the centre to convene all states CM's meeting immediately to chalk out the plan to tackle terrorism in a combined manner.
Unless the global watch dog US realises and accept Pakistan as the prime source and origin for all terrorism and act against it, the whole world is going to suffer more casualities.
