Jaipur, May 13: Terror struck Jaipur on Tuesday when eight serial blasts rocked crowded areas including one near a temple in the space of a few minutes leaving over 75 killed and scores injured.

Police sources said that 75 persons perished in the attack that triggered a stampede in the affected areas in the walled city which are frequented by foreign tourists. Six women were among the dead.

It is for the first time that the Pink City is coming under terror radar.

Scores of wounded people were ferried to several hospitals soon after the low-intensity blasts hit at Tripolia Bazar, where large number of devotees turned up at a Hanuman temple, Johari Bazar, Manas Chowk, Badi Choupal and Choti Choupal in the walled part of the city.

Rajasthan Director General of Police A S Gill said it was 'obviously a terror attack'. Police sources said the attack was meticulously planned and the first blast occurred around 7.40 pm and the remaining blasts were set off in quick succession.

The Union Home Ministry reviewed the situation while Mumbai and Delhi were put on high alert.

Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel were deployed in Jaipur to help deal with the situation as security was beefed up.

One of the blasts took place in a car and another near a handloom shop in Kotwali area of the city, Home Department sources said.

The injured were rushed to Sawai Man Singh hospital, the sources said.

The blasts triggered a near-stampede situation at the blast sites crammed with peak-hour shoppers as panic-stricken people ran helter skelter in search of a safe place.

The Hanuman temple at Tripolia bazar was crowded with worshippers being a Tuesday.

There were also reports that a live bomb was defused by a bomb disposal squad.

Police sources said that cycles may have been used to trigger the blasts that occurred in the space of 12 minutes at the crowded areas.

One of the blast sites is near the famous 'Hawa Mahal'.

India is run by two ISI agents and everything is possible. Manmohan and Sonia removed the POTA as these two are ISI CIA AGENTS. Antonia Maino alias Sonia was working in London in 1966 for an ISI operative Salman Thassir who had an office in Dubai as well. KGB had deposited US $2 billion (Rs 9400 Crores) in a Swiss bank in 1985 for Sonia as was reported in the Swiss mag.Schweitzer Illustrierte. Not everyday an ex RBI governor is taken in to a main political party. But Manmohan Singh was inducted in congress after he allowed the ISI bank also a CIA outfit, known as cocaine bank, the Bank known as Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) to open its branch in India in 1983 while he was a governor of RBI against RAW advise. Manmohan was taken in to Rao’s govt on the orders of CIA. So is the case of Anthony who is a creation of CIA. When Keralas first elected communist government has come to power the CIA funded through the christian churches an agitation to oust the government of Kerala, that was known as Vimochana Samaram. This created christian leaders like Anthony by CIA like they created Osma Bin Ladin. Google search on BCCI Affair will give the US senate investigation report and how it bribed Manmohan Singh.

In 2007 Christian terrorists killed 498 and by muslims is 198 . In 2007 CHRISTIAN TERROR STRIKE IN NE WAS 1489 WHILE MUSLIM TERROR STRIKE IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR WAS 1000. HINDUS KILLED BY CHRISTIANS IN NE IS 498 WHILE THAT IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR BY MUSLIMS IS 198 FOR 2007. The National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) met with all the Christian parliamentarians from across India at a hotel in New Delhi on Thursday, March 10, 2005 indicated the communal and traitorous nature of christians in India. The most communalised poision in India are the christians. Christianity has everything to do with the NE terrorism. It is clear from this meeting that christians are crass communal entity. It is like all muslim MPs meeting Osama Bin Ladin or the Kashmir terrorists in India. How come there are 30 christian MPs whereas the christian population in India is just 2.3% and that too distiributed. It is clear that foolish Hindus gave votes for these christians. It can also mean that christians are concentrated in specific pockets in India. Yet not a single newspaper commented about this communal approach of christian MPs. This shows that the christians have a firm control on Indian media

Islam is not tolerant to other religions . It is in keeping with the Prophet's instruction from his deathbed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not permit any religion other than Islam to exist on its soil. Put in a nutshell Islam is not tolerant of other religions. Therefore, to claim that it is a religion of peace and harmony is simply untenable. A Muslim leader cannot be a moderate leader or turn his or her country into a moderate nation, if that leader is a good Muslim. The Quran says ‘Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth (Islam), (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued (9-29). Through the above, Allah has made it compulsory for the Muslim leaders to fight the non-Muslims. In the light of the above stipulation of the Quran, one must wonder: how can people, having even a little bit of common sense, ever claim that Islam promotes equality, moderation, tolerance and peace.

Muslim serial bombings in March 1993killed 257 people and injure more than 1,100 but its main architect, Dawood Ibrahim is still at large and GOI is not interested in bringing him to justice. Islam is an ideological engine of war or Jihad. 26 chapters of the Quran dealing with violent jihad says Mohd sponsored "terror and slaughter" against NON MUSLIMS. Muhammad's behaviors today would be defined as terrorism. Muslims today are commanded by their "militant" Quran to follow his example. The terrorist nature of Quran cannot be ignored anymore. Zakat, the alms-giving pillar of Islam, is an asymmetrical war-fighting funding mechanism or combat support. According to Quran, jihad is not something a Muslim can opt out of. It demands able-bodied believers join the fight. Those unable -- women and the elderly must give "asylum and aid" (Surah 8:74) to those who do fight the NON MUSLIMS in the cause of Allah.

Time for Hindus to take up arms to protect themselves 5 by n.krishna on 14 May 2008

Every Hindu auspicious day and every Friday is dangerous for all Hindus in India because of terrorist muslims in India. Unless Hindus retaliate in kind this problem will never go away. It is the muslims in India who are responsible for the blasts. Pakis and Bangladesis are the outsourced trained arm of muslims in India. Terrorism is being called Jihad by muslims. Jihad is a three-phase attack strategy for gaining control of NON MUSLIM lands for Allah. The first phase is the "Meccan," or weakened, period, whereby a small Muslim minority asserts itself through largely peaceful and political measures involving Islamic NGOs. In the second "preparation" phase, a "reasonably influential" Muslim minority starts to turn more militant. And in the final jihad period, or "Medina Stage," a large minority uses its strength of numbers and power to kill the majority NON MUSLIMS. Islam advocates conversion by force. The final command of jihad, as revealed to Muhammad in the Quran, is to conquer the world in the name of Islam. Islam classifies NON MUSLIMS as enemies against whom it is legitimate for muslims to wage war and kill them.

Time for Hindus to take up arms to protect themselves 6 by n.krishna on 14 May 2008

We should introduce special identity cards for muslims and all Hindus should boycott terrorist establishment of muslims. In 1946 muslims started a terror campaign to create Pakistan by killing Hindus. When they got Pakistan, all the muslims did not go to Pakistan. We should sent all remaining muslims to Pakistan. If the muslims are not willing to go we should sterilize them. I call upon all Hindus to device suitable means to depopulate muslims out of India. Even biological methods should be acceptable. It is either muslims or us situation in India. We cannot travel anywhere without fear inside India. We cannot go to temple. Over and above, the antinationals have taken control of congress party and is pampering the minorities. So the only solution is to wage individual war on terror by eliminating terrorist muslims and christians. We should boycott IPL as it is employing Pakis. These Paki players have come with their cooks and terrorist friends and may be the reason for the Jaipur blast. Manmohan is a ISI agent and does not get sleep if a muslim terrorist is arrested.

Islam classifies NON MUSLIMS as enemies against whom it is legitimate for muslims to wage war and kill .Petition to ban Quran as it attracts 153A and 295A of I.P.C was filed in the Calcutta High Court on 29 March 1985 stating that publication of the Quran attracts Sections 153A and 295A of the I.P.C. because it “incites violence, disturbs public tranquility, promotes, on ground of religion, feelings of enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities, and insults other religions or religious beliefs of other communities in India. Each copy of Quran whether in the original Arabic or in any of the languages should be forfeited to the Government in terms of Section 95 of the Cr.P.C. Muslims have full knowledge of their Koran and that is the reason for the latest bomb blast at Jaipur. Islam is terror and it calls its followers to kill non muslims. http://www.livejournal.com/users/krishnaj/

Insane muslims by SUICIDE MUSLIM on 14 May 2008

Petition to ban Quran as it attracts 153A and 295A of I.P.C was filed in the Calcutta High Court on 29 March 1985 stating that publication of the Quran attracts Sections 153A and 295A of the I.P.C. because it “incites violence, disturbs public tranquility, promotes, on ground of religion, feelings of enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities, and insults other religions or religious beliefs of other communities in India”. He also prayed for a rule nisi on the Government of West Bengal “to show cause as to why a writ of mandamus be not issued to it directing it to declare each copy of Quran whether in the original Arabic or in any of the languages as forfeited to the Government” in terms of Section 95 of the Cr.P.C. Muslims in India have often sought shelter under Sections 153A and 295A of the Indian Penal Code (I.P.C.) The sayings and doings of the Prophet and others of Islam, have been proscribed under Section 95 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.) as a result of pressure exerted by vociferous, very often violent Muslim protests. Muslims have no knowledge of their Koran that it is against Indian law.

JIHAD BOMBING by bombing muslim on 14 May 2008

Jihad which means war in Islam. 26 chapters of the Quran dealing with violent jihad says Mohd sponsored "terror and slaughter" against NON MUSLIMS.

Islam was meant for the Nomadic arabs by Joseph K on 14 May 2008

Islam was ntended for the people of Arab world. Prophet Muhammad had launched his movement to dislodge the Quraish priests from the highly profitable posts of the Ka`aba, and to have them reallocated to himself and to his followers is inferable from the Quran itself (42-7) (27-91). It is clear from the above two verses of the Quran that the scope and the purpose of Islam were limited to the City of Mecca and that it was the Hindu Deity who had commanded the Prophet Muhammad to serve the lord of Mecca. Islam is terror and it calls its followers to kill non muslims. . Quran attracts 153A

Blasts and Community by Daniel on 14 May 2008

It is crime against our own communities to trust thy neighbour just because Government has signed a peace treaty. Every individual crossing boarder must be watched closely, at the list keep close watch randomly, lot many things will come out against the treaty. This will save many lives.It is obvious those carried out the orders are Indians, but who are the inducers? Stopping them is more important than going after locals.

Terror by Yogesh Datta on 14 May 2008

Same ritual once again. Terrorists strike without fear. Devoties are killed. Newspapers print gory pictures. PM ask for calm and says "peace talks with Pakistan will go ahead". Hindus will show their rage for a couple of days. Then everything will go quite till next time.

Are we nurturing terrorists by Minority programs by Tarashankar Rudra on 14 May 2008

Dear Sir,The event in Jaipur is apalling. What I can infer is that the minority programs for upliftment of this community actually enables a vast majority of them to reproduce with taxpayers money and destabilize the nation. I do not find any relevance of Madarsas in India, why should they be there when they can't enable students to get jobs but teach hatred and harbour terrorists? The Governmnet should quit if it is unable to protect its citizens from such brutal acts on unarmed, innocent citizens. All the protection given to politicians should be removed. We are paying our hard earned money to protect these cowards so they can formulate laws to kill us. These people should be charged with criminal negligence. We have RIGHT TO LIFE.

Send all muslims to Pakistan by n.krishna on 14 May 2008

We should complete the 1947 partition of India by sending all muslims to Pakistan and Bangladesh and take back all Hindus from there. Islam is a religion written by a group of illiterate Arabs to conquer the world and created a Mohd and fit him to a family that might have existed some hundred years back in a similar fashion the christianity was created. Unless muslims start questioning their own religion, like the christians are doing, peace can never come to this world. There is no historicity for both Mohd and Jesus. Koran is violative of our IPC. Petition to ban Quran as it attracts 153A
