A series of horrific photographs by Mumbai resident Dharmesh Thakkar are now posted on his account at Flickr.

Now Public is endeavoring to contact Mr. Thakkar to get his first-person account of the slaughter.

Reuters is reporting now that At least 135 people were killed and hundreds injured in seven bomb explosions that rocked packed commuter trains and stations during tonight’s rush hour

Mumbai has been tense for the last few days following the desecration of a statue commemorating the late wife of a extremely nationalistic political leader. But so far no one has taken responsibility for the blasts, although Indian media are speculating the perps may be linked to suspected militants Islamist fighting for an independent Islamic state in Kashmir on the Indian-Pakistan border.

NowPublic is issuing an alert through its network of contributors for first-person accounts of the blast.
