[updated:29072008 / 23:03] POLICE found ten unexploded bombs in the western Indian city of Surat, one of the world's biggest diamond-polishing centres, on Tuesday, three days after a series of bombs in the same state killed 45 people. Seven bombs defused and another three still active but I believe by the time I update this blog, the police have defused all the bombs.

The e-mail's subject line said "Await 5 minutes for the revenge of Gujarat," an apparent reference to 2002 riots in the western state that left 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, dead. The boms blast after 5 minutes and innocent people's life gone. The group identified their self as "Indian Mujahideen" take the credit for the attacks. In past few years, India has been target for the attacks due to the religion conflicts among the Hindu's and Muslim's. Although India was dominated by the Hindu's but the government remain secular and was neutral, even providing privillege to Muslim's communities. The reality the terrorist refuse to understand was when the bom blast, the bomb can't differentiate whether the victims is a Hindu or Muslim? Why kill the innocent?
