Bomb blasts in India: echoes of al Qaida

As the news rolls in, currently over 160 have died from a series of bomb blasts on India's rail network. It appears the attacks meant to echo al Qaida's previous bombings. Multiple, near-simultaneous blasts. An attack involving transportation infrastructure. The 7th month echoes the London attack; the 11th day echoes the New York and Madrid attacks. It even appears they also targeted the financial sector.

Local reports said the bombs appeared to have targeted first-class compartments, as commuters were returning home from the city's financial district.
