Even though Malegaon used to be communally sensitive you would not think terroris attacks would happen there ..

Is any place even safe anymore ??

Malegaon, Maharashtra, Sept 8: Terrorists struck again in Maharashtra, killing at least 37 people and injuring over 100 in three blasts including one in a mosque in communally sensitive Muslim-dominated Malegaon town.

The blasts occurred just before 2:00 pm at three different places, nearly simultaneously, leaving a trail of death and destruction. Scores of people were gathered in a mosque-cum-graveyard at Friday prayer time were among the casualties.

Malegaon, which has a history of communal violence, was under curfew as the Centre and the state government rushed paramilitary forces to deal with the situation officially described as tense but under control.

Friday’s explosions come less than two months after train blasts in Mumbai killed nearly 200 people on July 11. They occurred only four days prior to the verdict in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case due on Tuesday.

Malegaon blasts an act of terrorism: US
 
Terming the blasts in Malegaon in Maharashtra as "terrorist bombings", the United States on Friday said it stood with India in its fight against terrorism.
"There can be no justification for such heinous acts. The US stands with India in its fight against terrorism," US Ambassador to India David C Mulford said in a statement.

He said he was "shocked and saddened by the brutal terrorist bombings that killed innocent civilians outside a mosque" in Malegaon.

Twin blasts in Malegaon have killed 30 people and injured over a 100.

Yaaawwwn!
What was that again? Oh terror attacks? You mean 9/11 and 7/7? Oh you mean a terror attack outside US and Europe? Naaah, it must be some malnourished kid who tried to eat a firecracker...

nope I don't think so. I think India's problem all along has been a cooler than neccessary heads. Any other nation wouldn't have let Pak acquire any nukes, our cool heads let them get those and now we are getting blackmailed. Any other nation wouldn't have tolerated so much crime against its citizens. we did with our cool heads. any other nation wouldn't have let LTTE get away with our promising leader's murder, we did , again with cool head. LTTE, with one act, probably changed the course of India's destiny. we did zilch. we did zilch when dawood bombed mumbai and is happily living in Pak.

We don't need cool heads, we have those cool heads aplenty. What we need is a sustained & intense outrage, what we need is a strong will and a strong aggressive approach to tackling terror. we need a lower threshold to our patience, we need a lower threshold to our tolerance. we need strength, will & aggression. not cool heads.

Not referring to cool heads of authorities against perpetrators, but rather civilians against other innocent civilians.  There are always those people that will try and incite riots and the public needs to be very wary.  The perpetrators need to be punished to the fullest extent.

don't mean to nit pick on you, but I think even civilians don't need "cool heads", we need "outrage" & anger. The only caution is to direct this anger at the right element. anger should not be at fellow indians. Civilians angers and outrage gets transformed to officials action.

I don't mean to nitpick either, but immediate anger is rarely ever well directed.  It is almost always misdirected.  I agree officials are well below par and must be held accountable for bringing perpetrators to justice.  However, the outrage and anger that you refer to, I would rather call passion.  Passion to see change in a system, to demand for from officials, to get active in the political system.  Anger and outrage tend to be vented in a violent manner and that I cannot agree with.

I guess we are saying the same thing using different words.  :)

I agree with both of you. However our medieval criminal and justice system does not work and therefore some peopme take the justice in their own hands. What is woryying is that not a single person in this town points the finger at the terrorists who deliberately want to create communal violence. The politicians at least can start educating the people - especially in this town which is supposed to be volatile - on the dangers and evil minds of terrorists.
