Mumbai, July 12 (ANI): Three blasts rocked Maharashtra's Mumbai city on the 24th birthday of Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist of the 26/11 terror attacks, on Wednesday.
At least ten people are reported to have been killed and over 54 others injured in the three serial blasts that rocked Mumbai city on Wednesday evening.
The first explosion took place in south Mumbai's Zaveri Bazaar, near the famous Mumbadevi temple, the second explosion was reported in a taxi in Dadar area in central Mumbai and the third place reportedly took place in south Mumbai's Opera House in Charni Road after 7 p.m.
All three are busy commercial and residential areas, and were bustling with people and traffic during the evening peak hours when the explosions took place.
A Mumbai Special Court on May 6, 2010, sentenced Kasab to death on four counts.udge M L Tahaliyani awarded the death sentence for Kasab on-waging war against India, murder, conspiracy to murder, and participating in an act of terror under Unlawful Activity Prevention Act (UAPA).
Kasab, who is the 52nd prisoner on death row in India, was also awarded a life term on five other counts.
It maybe recalled that ten gunmen from Pakistan arrived in Mumbai via sea route on November 26, 2008 and started firing indiscriminately at a busy railway station, a Jewish settlement, a popular cafe and two luxury hotels.
Several innocents were held hostage over the next three days and at least 166 people were killed before Indian commandos smoked out the terrorists on November 28, 2008. (ANI)
