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.

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

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.
