The chief minister of India's Maharashtra state blamed Muslim rebels for Monday's bomb attack in Mumbai that killed four people, Agence France-Presse reported.
Sushilkumar Shinde said the authorities are investigating a previously unknown group called al-Hadees for the bus bombing that wounded more than 40 people. The group is backed by Lashkar-e- Taiba, which is fighting Indian rule in the northern state of Jammu and Kashmir, AFP cited Shinde as saying.

Heads up. No particular surprise here, but part of a continuing pattern.

Today's news ticker had reports of a dozen cops being killed in Eastern India, didn't say where, by ultra lefties. Myanmar is the wild east anyway.
The Naxalites (maoists) are back.
Right after the last recent HindiChini friendship fest.

A posting yesterday mentioned authorities for looking for a burka clad babe(?) and her companion ( no description) who got off the bus shortly before the bomb boomed! Depending on where you are, one can see quite a few of the black and sometimes blue burkas in mumbai these days. A lot more than a decade ago.

Wasn't there a similar fest right before the ChiCOM invasion in '62?
