Not again...

I have just heard of a news pertaining to bomb explosions which took place in Istanbul, Turkey a couple of days ago. Why people (those who are involved in this incident) are targeting innocent people? Who's behind all these acts of stupidity? 18 bombs have been placed at a market. What an act of evil...!

AHMEDABAD, India (AP) -- Police in India have defused 18 bombs found Tuesday near the main diamond markets in the city of Surat.

They've also issued a sketch of a young man believed to be linked to one of two explosives-filled cars discovered there.

The announcement came as authorities in a Mumbai suburb probed ties to a series of blasts over the weekend which killed 42 people and wounded 183 in Ahmedabad, about 280 kilometres north of Surat.

Authorities say that four cars -- two used in Saturday's Ahmedabad attack and the two found in Surat Tuesday -- were stolen in July from a Mumbai suburb.

An obscure Islamic militant group took credit for the Ahmadabad attack.

Authorities are also investigating the computer of a 48-year-old American citizen living in Mumbai.

They want to find out if an e-mail claiming responsibility for the attack was sent from it, or if unknown attackers accessed his wireless Internet connection.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring state of Rajasthan, police defused three crude bombs hidden inside plastic containers.
