Dadar: Home Minister

Opera House Dept: The first blast erupted in the Jhaveri Bazaar at 6.54 p.m. local time, the second struck a minute later in a business district known as Opera House and the third hit the neighbourhood of Dadar within 10 minutes, according to CTV. Reports from the scene described blood-covered bodies lying in the streets while survivors hugged and wept, while police questioned witnesses and three explosions rocked Mumbai in quick succession Wednesday evening, killing at least 21 people and leaving nearly 150 injured in -- making it the deadliest terrorist attacks on Indian soil since 2008. Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said the timing of the blasts suggests "this was a co-ordinated attack by terrorists." He added that Mumbai has been placed on high alert. As reported in the news.
