At least 145 killed in Indian train blasts
Prime minister says 'terrorists' behind attacks
MUMBAI, India (CNN) -- A series of seven explosions killed at least
145 people on crowded commuter trains and stations Tuesday evening in
the Indian financial capital of Mumbai, police said.
Officials said 250 to 300 people were injured in the blasts in the
city's western suburbs as commuters made their way home. All seven
blasts came within an 11-minute span, between 6:24 and 6:35 p.m. (8:54
and 9:05 a.m. ET).
There was some confusion about the number of dead and injured as
information was compiled from hospitals and explosion sites in Mumbai,
the west Indian seaport previously called Bombay.
CNN-IBN correspondent Jency Jacob was aboard one of the trains during
the attacks.
"People started running helter-skelter and started jumping from the
train," Jacob said. (Watch rescuers pull blood-covered victims from

"When I jumped from the train, I saw that the first-class compartment
was totally ripped apart and people were hanging from the train. There
are some people who were thrown out from the train and they were lying
on the track, bleeding completely." (Read a full account of the horror
Jacob witnessed)
One person was arrested in New Delhi in police raids after the
explosions, reported CNN-IBN, CNN's sister network, but there's been
no claim of responsibility for the attacks.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urged calm and said the attacks
were "shocking and cowardly attempts to spread a feeling of fear and
terror."
"I reiterate our commitment to fighting terror in all its forms," he
said in a written statement.
Video footage from a train station showed people in bloodstained
clothes receiving medical treatment, while others were carrying
victims and some lying motionless near railroad tracks. Windows of a
train appeared to be spattered with blood.
At least one train was split in half.
'Limbs lying everywhere'
The blasts hit trains or platforms at the Khar, Mahim, Matunga,
Jogeshwari, Borivili -- the site of two explosions -- and Bhayander
stations. The eighth explosion struck a train between the Khar and
Santacruz stations, a police official told CNN-IBN.
Police also found and defused another bomb at the Borivili station,
according to CNN-IBN.
Jacob said after his train was attacked he moved toward the back of
the train where he "could see some explosives, some pipes that were
falling down. The police were investigating that. It seems to be that
the explosive was packed off in pipes and kept in the first class
men's compartment."
A CNN-IBN correspondent who was on one of the trains said it was
leaving a station when the blast occurred. People jumped and were
killed as the train hit them.
"Limbs [are] lying everywhere, bodies [were] cleared from the tracks
by local business owners who rushed from their shops," the
correspondent said.
Another CNN-IBN correspondent reported seeing 15 bodies at the
Matunga station.
People living nearly two miles (three kilometers) away from the
Borivili station said they heard the blast.
The Western Railway system -- which 4.5 million people use daily --
was shut down and Mumbai's subway system put on high alert after the
blasts. Police in the capital of New Delhi also heightened security.
Airports across India were put on high alert, too.
Blasts appear to follow terrorist pattern
U.S. officials said the blasts followed a pattern of initiated by two
Islamic terrorist groups -- Lashkar-e-Tayyiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed --
who focus on the territory of Kashmir, whose control is disputed by
India and Pakistan.
Kashmiri separatists were blamed for twin car-bombings that killed 53
people in Mumbai in August 2003 as well as an attack on the Indian
parliament in Delhi in 2001.
In March 1993, more than 250 people were killed when at least 13 bombs
were detonated around Mumbai. That attack followed a wave of fighting
between India's Hindu and Muslim communities.
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf strongly condemned the attacks,
and a statement released by his country's Foreign Ministry called them
a "despicable act of terrorism."
"Terrorism is the bane of our times and it must be condemned,
rejected and countered effectively and comprehensively," the
statement said.
Earlier Tuesday, a grenade attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir killed
at least four people. Authorities suspect militants are responsible
for that attack on a minibus in Srinagar. There was no immediate
indication of a connection to the Mumbai blasts.
Indian Home Minister Shivraj Patil said the government had some
advance knowledge that such an attack might take place. "What we
didn't have was the place and the time," Patil said.
