Explosions in Bombay II

Horrific photos at Flickr. Dead bodies of the Mumbai serial blast lie at the Bhagwati hospital in Borivili:

Sepia Mutiny has a detailed post.

The same at Ultrabrown.

The BBC:

Indian police are hunting for clues as to who was behind Tuesday's bomb attacks on Mumbai's train network which killed 183 people and injured 714.

Some died in the resulting panic:

The first blast went off at about 1830 local time (1300 GMT), during the rush hour. Correspondents spoke of scenes of pandemonium, with people jumping from trains and bodies flung onto tracks.

An eyewitness at Mahim told the BBC some of those who had jumped from the train were run over by another train coming in the opposite direction.

This is the worst terrorist attack in India since 1993.

The Mumbai Marauder has a first-hand, haunting, account.
