183 feared dead in 7 simultaneous India train bombings
Many people have been killed in at least seven blasts on trains in the Indian financial capital, Mumbai (Bombay).
Indian TV channels are showing pictures of bodies on the tracks, reporting that people were jumping from trains.
The city’s police Chief AN Roy said on TV that as many as 183 people may have been killed and more than 250 hurt.
The first blast went off at about 18.30 local time (13.00 GMT 06.00), during the evening rush hour in the suburbs on the busy Western Railway.
Police said the near-simultaneous blasts took place mostly on moving trains.
While there have been a number of bomb attacks in Mumbai in recent years, none has taken place since 2003.
Television images show dazed and blood-splattered commuters being carried by fellow passengers to waiting ambulances, as rescue workers clambered through wreckage to reach blast victims.
The force of the blasts ripped doors and windows off carriages and scattered luggage and debris.
Clothes, shoes and personal possessions were strewn along the tracks.
Mumbai and the capital Delhi have been put on high alert, and Mumbai’s entire rail network has been shut down.
The city’s suburban train system is one of the busiest in the world, carrying more than six million commuters a day.
