    Hi,

    Its again sad news for all over Indian, read below times news, deceased nos will grow by hrs & time...


    GUWAHATI: In the deadliest terror attacks in Assam, 66 people were killed and about 470 injured in 13 near-simultaneous blasts in Guwahati and three <TABLE style="MARGIN-TOP: 3px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 6px" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=205 align=left><TD id=bellyad style="PADDING-LEFT: 3px">[​IMG] [​IMG]

    other towns on Thursday by suspected Bangladesh-based HuJi militants.

    The first of the explosions went off at around 11.30 am near the Ganeshguri flyover near the high-security capital complex housing the assembly building, followed by explosions at Paltan Bazar and Fancy Bazar here--all within five minutes. ( Watch )

    Around the same time, bombs also went off in crowded market places of Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon and Barpeta in lower Assam. Official sources put the toll at 66 dead and 470 injured. ( Watch )

    Of the six blasts in Guwahati, RDX was used in two of the explosions, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said adding a special task force has been set up to unearth the conspiracy behind the blasts.

    Black smoke billowed from the deputy commissioner's office housing the district courts, which bore the brunt of the attacks in Guwahati, as vehicles, including a number of cars, turned into mangled heaps of metal.

    Police suspected that the bomb was planted in the court complex on a two-wheeler.

    At least 33 people were killed in the blasts in Guwahati where an indefinite curfew was clamped following protests by residents, who accused the police of delayed action, official sources said. ( Watch )

    Assam has witnessed massive ethnic violence since early 1980s and ULFA-sponsored insurgency but this is the first time that a terror attack in the form of serial blasts rocked the state in such a magnitude.

    Bodies of the many of the dead were charred beyond recognition. The blast sites were stewn with severed limbs and blood of the victims.

    A red alert has been sounded across the state and Army has also been put on alert in view of the security situation, he said after Gogoi held a review meeting with his cabinet colleagues and top officials.

    So many innocent lives... Hope whoever is responsible, those who are morally corrupt and not taking any action, rot in hell.

    I dont know whats happening in India? No place is safe. You can't imagine the place where you are standing,buying groceries can have a bomb placed around.

    This is really a heinous act to humanity. I wonder when will Indian leaders realize that it is something above the vote bank and its for the cause of humanity.We really need some strcit actions and laws against such terrors, by not having them, we are actually encouraging such things...

    hi Nandhu/Anshu,

    you are exactly correct.

    the serial blast in different Cities in india also indicate there is no strong leadership in India & no stem law to tacke the terrorist. the currupted politicians, officials are making the citizen life miserable.

    if such things continue even god cant save our India...
