Indian cities are on a state of high alert after 18 people were killed and dozens injured when three bombs exploded across Mumbai during the evening rush hour.
India's Home Minister P Chidambaram has said he believed the blasts were "a co-ordinated attack by terrorists", as the explosions occurred within minutes of one another.
But he said it was too early to speculate on who might have been behind the attack.
It's the worst attack to hit Mumbai since the terrorist attacks of November 2008, when gunmen killed 165 people in a three-day raid.
Pakistani-based militants were blamed for the 2008 attacks - and the government in Islamabad was quick to condemn the latest attacks.
After the attack in 2008, pledges were made by the indian government to set up a special terrorism unit and an extensive CCTV network across the city .

That is the politics. It is an anti-india campaign. Whatever happened in Mumbai, That is not tolerable but One question always strikes me why India is targeted from more terror attack? Blaming Pakistan is not idea but it is wise to seek out what is behind this.</p>

Home Minister P Chidambaram should know that Intelligence is to be gathered - failure to do so is FAILURE<br />
He expects the attackers to be publicising their attacks instead of working in a clandestine manner. Get real Mr Chidambaram.</p>
