2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts

The 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts refer to a series of coordinated bomb attacks that occurred on July 26, 2008, in the city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. A total of 21 bombings took place within a span of just over two hours, resulting in the deaths of 56 individuals and injuring more than 200 others. The attacks were attributed to the Indian Mujahedeen, a militant group believed to have connections with various other extremist organizations. The blasts targeted busy urban areas, including markets and public places, instilling fear and chaos among the local population. The incident led to widespread condemnation, heightened security measures, and significant investigations by law enforcement agencies, ultimately resulting in the arrest of several suspects and ongoing discussions on national security and terrorism.
