Three Blasts Rock Mumbai, At Least 20 Killed

Mumbai's first terror attack since the November 2008 assaults injures dozens and paralyzes the heart of the massive city.

Update: Indian officials now say that at least 20 people have been killed in the trio of blasts in Mumbai today, with at least 113 more people injured. No groups have yet to claim responsibility for the attacks, but suspicions have almost immediately fallen to the Pakistani Islamist group Lakshar-e-Taiba, which was responsible for the 2008 attack.

Three bombs exploded at three different locations in the heart of Mumbai, killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens. The blasts occurred near Mumbai's opera house, a temple, and at a crowded jewelry bazaar in the early evening. Police have appealed for the public to remain calm as the bombs exploded just as many people were leaving work for the day. India's Home Ministry said the co-ordinated attacks were a terrorist plot, the first in Mumbai since November 2008, when Pakistani terrorists assaulted a luxury hotel and other locations in downtown Mumbai, killing 164 people.
