18 Killed in Mumbai Bombings 
-----------------------------



At least 18 people have been killed in a series of blasts in the Indian
city of Mumbai. It was the deadliest attack on the city since 166 were
killed in a 2008 mass shooting. Indian officials have blamed the
Pakistan-based militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba. Mumbai Police
Commissioner Aru Patnaik urged residents to maintain calm.

Aru Patnaik: "We have put the entire city on red alert; different areas
have been cordoned off. Sealing has been done. I would like to take this
opportunity to appeal to everyone to keep calm. It is very unfortunate
incident."
