After Bangalore serial blast, eight low-intensity bomb blasts rocked Ahmedabad city on Saturday evening. The blasts happened in Maninagar, Bapunagar, Hatkeshwar, Sarnagpur Bridge, Amraiwadi, Govindwadi, Sarangpur, Chakla area and Jawahar Chowk. All the blast took place within half an hour starting from 6:30 pm.

The first two blast happened at Maninagar. The first one took place in the Assembly constituency of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi followed by a second blast inside the LJ Hospital premises. It was reported that the bomb in Maninagar was planted in a bicycle in the assembly constituency while the blast inside the hospital took place below a red-coloured car. 20 people have been taken injured to the civil hospital in Maninagar. A black coloured Hero Honda Splendor motorcycle has been found abandoned near the blast site in Maninagar.

Two other blast took place in Bapunagar at about 6:40 pm, one outside the railway station while other inside a bus. The bombs were reportedly hidden in tiffin boxes. Ahmedabad railway station has been sealed. One more blast happened in Diamond market.

Bapu Nagar and Diamond Market are in the Old City area which is very congested particularly on Saturday evening. According to CNN-IBN’s reports, the blasts were aimed at creating panic and not really at causing heavy causalities.

A seventh explosion took place in Sakrej. An initial report says that the bomb was targetted in CNG bus. In another market near Sabarmati River, eyewitness accounts suggest that two men were seen throwing a bag near the shops. Soon after this, there was an explosion.

Immediately, police have rushed to the sites. All the injured are being rushed to nearby hospitals. All mobile networks have been jammed. An emergency meeting is going on at Modi’s residence and the Chief Minister is likely to visit the blast areas soon.

President Pratibha Patil and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh condemned the blasts and appealed for calm.

Union Minister of State for Home Sri Prakash Jaiswal said, “The blasts seem to be along the lines of yesterdays Bangalore blasts. It is a conspiracy to unsettle the country. All metros are on a high alert.”

Delhi, Mumbai, and other metros are on the high alert. It was feared that the ancient Meenakshi Temple may be on target. Hence Tamil Nadu has also been put on high alert. However, as a precautionary measure, security has been beefed up at all major temples.

According to the reports of IBN CNN, the Intelligence Bureau (IB) had received an e-mail from a little known terror group called Indian Mujaheedin about a possible attack. Other details are yet to come.

A deadly bomb blast on Monday outside the Danish embassy in the Pakistani capital Islamabad left 8 people dead and at least 30 injured. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast. Injured people are rushed to hospitals and police sealed off the area.

The bomb was reported to be placed in a car parked outside the building. The blast damaged the building of Danish Embassy and a nearby development agency. Many cars parked near the car bombing site were destroyed with the explosion and left a huge crater outside the embassy. Several trees near the scene were also ablaze.  The explosion was so fierce that it damaged the windows of the houses many kilometers away.

The residence of Indian High Commissioner is also located in the same area but at some distance from the site of blast.

Denmark had downgraded the embassy and moved out most foreign staff in recent months due to threats linked to a row over the reproduction in February of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in Danish media, diplomatic sources said.

“It was a suicide attack carried out in a vehicle, apparently targeting the Denmark embassy,” a senior Pakistani security official said.

A worker at the development agency, the UN-backed Devolution Trust for Community Development, said he arrived at his office seconds after the explosion.

“I saw blood and smoke and the trees were burning and debris was in the air settling down. Our building looked like it had been destroyed,” Mohammad Salim said.

“I heard cries for help. I saw five people on the street lying on the ground in a pool of blood. I got to the first injured and thought he was dead but he was still breathing. We put him in a car and sent him to hospital,” he added.

Pakistan has experienced a lull in suicide attacks since a new government came to power in March and began peace talks with Taliban militants based in Pakistan’s tribal region bordering Afghanistan.

Earlier on March 15 a bomb blast at an Italian restaurant frequented by foreigners killed a Turkish woman and wounded 10 foreigners, including four US FBI staff.
