2008 western India bombings
The 2008 Western India bombings refer to a series of coordinated terrorist attacks that occurred in the Indian states of Maharashtra and Gujarat between July 26 and September 30, 2008. Primarily targeting crowded urban areas, these attacks resulted in numerous casualties and widespread panic. The most notable incidents included the Ahmedabad bombings on July 26, which left over 50 dead and hundreds injured, and the Surat bomb blast on September 30. Investigations implicated various extremist groups, leading to heightened security measures across India. The bombings spurred public outrage and renewed debates on national security, communal harmony, and the vulnerabilities of urban environments in the face of terrorism.
