BREAKING: Explosions in India

AP News Alert:
BOMBAY, India (AP) Indian media reports a total of three explosions have hit Bombay train stations during the evening rush hour.
Here is the immediate coverage out of Bombay via Breitbart:
An explosion struck a packed commuter train in a Bombay suburb during the Tuesday evening rush hour, and police said there were casualties. Indian media reported that two more explosions struck Bombay train stations.

A senior police official said the first blast hit the train at a station in the northwestern suburb of Khar, and that authorities were still trying to determine how many people had been injured and if anyone had died.
The way these events are being reported make it appear like this is a terrorist strike of some sort, but the media doesn't seem too interested in saying so...

UPDATE: AP News Alert:
BOMBAY, India (AP) A railway spokesman says a total of seven explosions have hit Bombay's commuter train network during the evening rush hour.

Of course, we'll get a body count...

These Islamofascist terrorists need to pay...
