Six explosions hit Bombay's commuter rail network during rush hour Tuesday evening, ripping apart train compartments and reportedly injuring dozens of people, police and Indian media said.

Indian television news channels broadcast video of the wounded sprawled on train tracks and being carried through stations.

The Press Trust of India news agency said six blasts occurred along the city's commuter rail network, which is among the most crowded in the world.

India's financial center of Bombay and the capital of New Delhi were reportedly on high alert.

Who would do such a thing?

I am gussing those christian conservatives who are the biggest threat to mankind.

Co ordinated attack IMHO

Could very well be salamikazes, but in India you never really know until somebody actually claims responsibility. There are other groups who do bombings as well.

I'll put my money on the Islamokazis. Apparently another group did a grenade attack earlier.

True, but this has al-queda written all over it.

Two things that will be found shortly, semtex and pieces of the "religion of peace."

These poor souls. So much misery in the world. So much evil about. Father, receive them in Your loving mercy.

It's days like this my anger just disintegrates into sadness.

When, Lord?

Good catch about the date.

[Aquinasfan]

The Amish did it!

Either them or Mother Theresa's sisters.

[SelectiveJNJ]

This has to be in response to India launching the nuclear capable missle a few days ago.

[ConservativeStatement]

Who could have done such a thing?

fanatical Finns?

abhorrent Aussies?

stubborn Swedes?

diabolical Danes?

intolerant Italians?

nefarious Norwegians?

pigheaded Poles?

So, no one's yet claimed "credit" for this act of heroism? After all, it takes a lot of courage to bomb unarmed, helpless, unsuspecting passengers on a train, probably none of whom did a thing to you (the bombers).

Who would do such a thing?

It's the joooooz...the same insidious group that took down the twin towers.
