Mumbai Blasts - 8

The mail was sent at 1:26 a.m. There are certain sections of the email that are being blacked out and not read out to prevent inciting further tensions in the city and country. There is talk of showing people their place "aukaad dikhana". The updated reports say 70 plus dead. Sigh. It is indeed terrible. I am happy that my college mates are all safe at the hostel but how close a shave it was for so many of them out on the road at the time of the blasts highlights the fine line between safety and danger. We need to be very alert and aware of out surroundings. India TV is showing pictures of what appears to be a terrorist with a navy blue tshirt, a young man, a blue bag, a rifle in hand, a little blood on the left side of the face and the definite gleam of a fanatic in his eyes.
