" AHMEDABAD: India appears to be one of the softest targets in the world for terrorists. On two consecutive days, they have struck in two top Indian cities - Bangalore and Ahmedabad -triggering widespread fears of more such attacks.
As a sense of helplessness grips the country, security and intelligence specialists say India is increasingly being drawn into the epicentre of terror.
On Saturday evening, Ahmedabad was rocked by 17 precisely planned blasts in crowded markets, bus stands, residential areas and hospitals, leaving 29 dead and 88 injured, some of them seriously.
The nature of the blasts was similar to those in Bangalore on Friday - quartz timer devices, microprocessors and ammonium nitrate were found at blast sites in both cities - indicating that the attacks were the handiwork of terrorists drawn from the same pool. "
We had 7 such blasts in bangalore followed by 17 in Ahmedabad yest.
Further there is a threat to blow up Mumbai Stock exchange within next week .
Apart from India , theres an open threat to the Beijing Olympics as well by a Islamic Militant outfit that major cities will see the worse and a warning sent out to Muslim participants to reconsider .

you bet .. its reverse .. devolution if the term exists.
gentlepaws: riya, who is claiming responsibilty for these attacks ?
A new group called Indian Mujahideen .. the officials have a fair guess its just a cover-up to divert attention and is actually the same old groups as before .. not sure which ones ..yet.
I fear with the escalating extremist attacks and fuel prices, this old world as we know it will not sustain a normality that we can recognize within a few years.
