Extract: "Two explosions in quick succession in Mumbai on August 25, 2003, are estimated to have killed about 48 innocent civilians. [...] This has been the fifth terrorist strike in Mumbai in recent months. The main targets appear to have been chosen for their economic significance---such as means of transport, areas of prosperous economic activity or a very well-known hotel." - b.raman.
