Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 As i'm sure most of you have heard or seen on TV, yesterday Muslim terrorists set off two bombs in downtown Mumbai. Or to use a totally lousy pun on the city's traditional name, they put the BOMB in Bombay. a very unfortunate incident. We can only pray that this will not lead to more "communal" (i.e. Hindu v. Muslim) violence. >From today's Times of India: Death toll rises to 52, 7 critical PTI[ TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2003 03:23:07 PM ] MUMBAI: With two more persons succumbing to injuries, the death toll in the twin blast that ripped through the congested Zaveri bazar and near the Taj Mahal hotel rose to 52 on Tuesday.
