13th: Four bombings in the last three years

Mumbai, Jul 13 (PTI) The jinx associated with number
'13' seems to hold true for India with four bomb blasts
taking place on this date during the last three years.
Western Indian city Mumbai's diamond district Zaveri
Bazaar and two other bustling markets Opera and Dadar were
Wednesday hit by three consecutive blasts, killing at least 13
and injuring about 100.
On February 13 last year, 17 people were killed and
over 60 injured when the famous German Bakery in Pune was hit
by a bomb blast. The bakery which was frequented by foreigners
came under attack a day before Valentine's Day when young
crowd throng the eatery.
In May 13, 2008, Jaipur was hit by a series of nine
synchronised bomb blasts within 15 minutes across different
locations of the 'Pink City'.
The blasts -- first terror attack on this tourist
destination -- killed 68 people and injured over 214.
Same year on September 13, six blasts took place in
the national capital killing 26 people. The blasts took place
in crowded markets of Karol Bagh, Connaught Place and Greater
Kailash.
All these blasts save one, the German Bakery, have
some common points -- all these bombs were synchronised and
timed to explode within a very short span of time, crowded
markets were the targets and the blasts occurred in evening
when these places swell with customers.
