Bangalore Blasts...well very evidently an attempt to create panic...but was the mission accomplished. I guess not..there was panic in the entire country, however the people of blore took the whole episode in their stride... All the best people, keep the faith n the spirits high!!

info from an editor on National TV sp point No 1 Key features of blasts 1. 4 out of 9 blasts occurred in minority areas 2. Blasts occurred on Friday 3. blasts not aimed to create damage but cause panic 4. blasts are low intensity that police wont say it is a terror attack 5. No RDX used 6.Gelatin which is used in mines is used 7.Nails nuts and bolts etc used 8. remote timers were used 9.No organisation has taken responsibililty Many points are similar to Thane blasts Mumbai where members of Hindu groups are arrested
