India asks 'who' and 'why' a day after blasts rock Mumbai

India asks 'who' and 'why' a day after blasts rock Mumbai. A day after three blasts rocked Mumbai, killing at least 17 people and injuring 131, the Indian government says it has no leads on suspects and will refrain for now from assigning any blame. The possibility that the blasts were intended to derail upcoming India-Pakistan talks has been floated in the media repeatedly, but officials have assiduously avoided acknowledging any suspicions they may have of a connection.
The three bombings in three different locations happened at rush hour on Wednesday in heavily congested areas of India's commercial capital.

Home Minister P Chidambaram acknowledged that India lived in a "troubled neighborhood." He said that Pakistan and Afghanistan are at the "epicenter" of terrorism and that the possibility the attacks had ties to Pakistan would be explored, according to the Hindustan Times.
