Serial Blasts Rock Delhi; 30 dead, 90 injured
|
|
Minutes after the terror bombings ripped through the nation’s capital, dripping blood, running footsteps of doctors and loud wails engulfed several Delhi hospitals last weekend.
The penetrating sirens of ambulances, the cry of the innocents, the creaking sounds of stretchers carrying the terror victims and busy doctors inside the hospitals were grim signs that another tragedy had occurred — an inhuman act of terror that resulted in a chilling sense of fear gripping the capital. On entering the Jassa Ram Hospital in central Delhi, the tragic scene took one back to Jaipur and Ahmedabad — cities that have witnessed similar serial bombings in the last three months.
“Take him to the operation theatre...quick,” said a young doctor at the hospital, where victims were pronounced dead and another 20 were struggling to survive.
At the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where over 50 people suffered blast injuries, the scene was no different: a woman crying outside the main gate, a child sitting silently near a group of people, a stray dog moving through a corridor, sniffing at the blood that had dripped from a victim’s body.

Bombers sent e-mail prior to explosions
|
The serial blasts last Saturday that ripped through three teeming business hubs in India’s capital is the fourth terror act allegedly triggered by the Indian Mujahideen — the terror outfit that has become notorious since late last year.
The Indian Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the Delhi bombing in an e-mail to the media, though the police said they were unsure about the perpetrators.
Earlier, the outfit had also claimed responsibility for the serial bombings in Ahmedabad on July 26 and Jaipur on May 13, as well as in three towns of Uttar Pradesh last November.
The Indian Mujahideen, believed to be a front organization of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-e-Islami (HuJI) outfits, had even sent out prior warnings on all the three occasions.
