2002 Mumbai bus bombing
The 2002 Mumbai bus bombing was a terrorist attack that occurred on August 2, 2002, in Mumbai, India. The attack targeted a public transport bus, specifically on the route between the Mahalaxmi and Sion areas, resulting in the deaths of at least two individuals and injuring over 20 others. The bombing was attributed to the extremist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, amidst rising tensions in India related to ethnic and religious violence, particularly following the Gujarat riots earlier that year. The incident highlighted the ongoing threat of terrorism in urban India and prompted increased security measures in public transportation systems. Investigations led to arrests and trials, reflecting the complexities of India's security landscape in the early 21st century.
