Over 40 Killed In Hyderabad Blasts in India

Over 40 people have been killed and dozens more injured in coordinated explosions in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad. The blasts took place in heavily populated areas.

The first explosion took place in an open air auditorium at the Lumbini Park area, overlooking the scenic Hussain Sagar lake, and was of high intensity, flinging bodies in the air. The second blast took place at a chaat shop in the Kothi area of Hyderabad. A red alert has been sounded across the city and searches are being conducted to determine any other potential explosive devices that may be present in the city. All injured have been taken to the Medicity Hospital. The exact number of dead people is still uncertain.

There were blasts at the Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad in May this year, killing 11 people, and followed by police firing which killed 5 people. Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister questioned the alertness of the police forces and the state government, saying "The duty of intelligence is to be always vigilant, and to communicate information to the government. The government and police have failed."

India is no stranger, unfortunately, to terror attacks. In 2006, seven blasts in Mumbai trains killed over 200 people. In recently concluded trials, multiple people were found guilty for blasts in 1993 in Mumbai, and most major cities have lived under heightened states of alertness for a long while since the Khalistani attacks in the 1980s.

Security is generally weak at tourist spots, however, and the Lumbini Park auditorium, which is opposite the State Secratariat, apparently lacks metal detectors or even minimal security features.

A very very interesting fact:

My friend just pointed out that this attack took place exactly on the 100TH DAY after the May 18 Mecca Masjid Bombings.

More symbolism!

What has this got to do with the attack? Or is it just coincidence?

Islamic Jehad is just one dimension of the whole security dangers our secular country is facing.

Communists also are equally violent and terrorists. But they are black sheeps and respectably enjoying power in central government.

Third taack is not physical violence but mental violence being carried out by evangelists and christian missioneries.

This JCM (jehadi, communists and missioneries) togather presents the right of picture of overall attacks on Indian democracy and secularism.

Unfortunately those who try to expose these gangs and challenge them openly are being branded as villains in India.

Communists have killed more Indians then Muslim Jehadis. Missioneries has converted more people then communists have killed.

Let's open our eyes and mind wide open.These three foreign gangs (Jehadis, Communism and missioneries) have different vested interests and influence groups. But one thing is common in all that they want to creat chaos in India to derail its economic developemnt because if India developes communism will die automatically. If India developes missionery shops of exploiting poverty and faith trading for dollors will close automatically. And same thing is with jehadis regressing elements.

Let's support those who challenge these anti national gangs and unitedly expose thier eveil designs and defuse them.

I request people to carry out research on this issue. How many innocent people has been killed by communists who are black sheeps sitting in media, films , politics and theatre. I am pretty sure number of innocent man women and children killed by communist terrorists is many times more then Jehadi terrorists.

just find out and you will get surprised?

Rana Pratap Maharaj Ki jai ho.

I am angry with every associate of foreign invaders. Commmunists are the most dangerous enemies of India. They are more fanatic then jehadis and killed more innocent people then jehaidis or even British invaders.

In spite of that due to their hold on media they remian white robbed and enjoying power at centre.

Jinki joote padne chahiye the ve satta sukh bhog rahe hai and our educated class fail to understand to see these aastine ke saamp.

That's why I highlighted communist terror side by side with well known jehadi terror.

jehadis are visible mindless enemies of india while communist terrorists are inteligent shrewed and masked entities difficult to recognise.

Among all gangs of foreign ideologies attempting to swallow civilisation originated from soil of India, communists are the most brutal most cruel and most cunning gang.
