7/11

Terror had a plan in mind as it visited Mumbai on Tuesday. The powerful explosions that killed at least 147 rush-hour commuters and tore apart seven local-train compartments were methodically executed to shock the country’s financial capital and hurl it into chaos.
Unlike the 1993 blasts, aimed at the city’s institutions, 11/7 was meant to hit the people who represented the face of globalising Mumbai.The bombs — in all probability improvised explosive devices, the choice of terror groups in the past 10 years — exploded mostly in first-class compartments ferrying professionals and businessmen during the evening rush hour.
