3 BLASTS HIT BOMBAY! 3? Sounds 'coordinated' to me.
I was in Mumbai a year ago and its pretty crazy normally during rush-hour. This should really be a mess.

There was a large Islamic Quarter in Mumbai that my gracious colleagues/hosts, during my week-long stay there, steered me away from.

Could this be retaliation for India's promise to move troops into Afghanistan???

I was in Mumbai a year ago at a scientific conference and its pretty crazy there normally during rush-hour. Its just like Manhattan at that time of day. This should really be a mess.
There is a large Islamic Quarter in Mumbai that my gracious colleagues/hosts, during my week-long stay there, steered me away from. They are proud of their country and wanted my stay there to be pleasant and without any eventful encounters with enraged followers of the Schizoid Pedophelic Prophet.

Absolutely fits the Al Qaeda profile. An attack in an area where Muslims and non-Muslims mix, in a place where both will be victims, yet mutual mistrust will get worse.
NYC, DC, Madrid, and London all fit this profile.

BOMBAY, India
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.

More blood on the hands of the New York Times, in my opinion. The Times has, for the last 5 years, been systematically sabotaging the essential intelligence gathering necessary to fight the War on Terror. While the Times severely injures the USA (its main purpose), at the same time it destroys the intelligence gathering of every other nation, including the security forces of India, in tracking al Queda communucations and financing.

What a mess! If all these bombings in all these countries don't convince the world that Islam is a deadly cult and not a peaceful religion - I don't know what will.
