"(Unknown terror group claims responsibility: report )", Hindustan Times, 15 May 2008.〕 Since then, other major Indian cities including Bangalore, Ahmedabad〔 〕 and Delhi were targeted. On 29 September 2008, police in Ahmedabad, Gujarat foiled another terror attack when 17 bombs were found and defused. However, a low-intensity bomb exploded at a market packed with Muslims breaking their Ramadan fast, killing one and wounding 15. Another bomb placed near a Temple in Faridabad was found and defused. Furthermore, the bombs were purportedly similar to those that exploded in Delhi two days before this attack. The explosions in Malegaon and Modasa took place on the eve of Navratri, a major Hindu festival celebrated across India. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「29 September 2008 western India bombings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
