Bomb blasts in Bangalore

Five blasts so far this afternoon. One killed; about 15 injured according to
early figures. It's India, so those figures are sure to increase.

Possibly caused either by Pakistanis (or Indian authorities pretending to be
Pakistanis) or else revenge from Communist sympathizers who failed to bring
down the government.

Yahoo India is reporting seven bombs, all small and crude and triggered by
timers, two dead and twenty injured now.

Doesn't sound like Pakistani sponsored Islamic nutters, they're usually a
lot more lethal...

And I thought all the 'shooting' Communists were already up in the hills,
well to the north of there...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Six blasts now being reported; 1-3 dead. They seem to have set them serially
down one major road. (I'd go for Islamic nutters as many Islamic nutters
here are just not very good at being Islamic nutters. However, there are
also lots of Chinese agents and their sympathizers down here, hiding among
the Tibetans and northeasterners).

Well the authorities are going to say 'Pakistani sponsored Islamic nutters'
whoever they are.

In Bangalore? Does this happen often? I might be in Bangalore in
October.

Very rare in the major cities

Compared to Europe in the 'eighties they're rare, and it's a lot more
dangerous to ride the Bombay trains in the rush hour...

Actually, it's a lot more dangerous to cross the road anywhere in India

Thinking about it any form of travelling in India, including walking, is a
lot more dangerous...

Most bomb attacks, of the three or four a year, are attacks on
controversial places of worship or controversial theatrical promotions.

It goes off almost daily in Copenhagen.

Glad you're OK.

Do they think these are related to the ones in Jaipur
recently? Thankfully those happened well after I was there.

Thanks. Who knows? There's no forensic process here. It's like Japan. Grab a
suspect you had your eyes on anyway, force a confession out of him and say,
case solved.
