The coordinated attacks were the most destructive bomb explosions in Indian history. This was first of its kind serial-bomb-blasts across the world. The single-day attacks resulted in 257 fatalities and 717 injuries. The attacks were coordinated by Dawood Ibrahim, don of the Mumbai-based international organised crime syndicate named D-Company. Ibrahim is believed to have ordered and helped organise the bombings in Mumbai, through his subordinates Tiger Memon and Yakub Memon. The Supreme Court of India gave its judgement on 21 March 2013 after over 20 years of judicial proceedings sentencing the accused. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_of_the_Babri_Masjid In December 1992 and January 1993, there was widespread rioting in Mumbai following the Babri Masjid demolition in Ayodhya. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayodhya. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._N._Srikrishna Three days before the bombings took place on 9 March 1993, a small-time hood from the Behrampada slum in North east Mumbai named Gul Noor Mohammad Sheikh a.k.a. "Gullu" was detained at the Nav Pada police station. A participant in the communal riots that had rocked Mumbai the previous year, Gullu was also one of the 19 men handpicked by the silver smuggler and chief mastermind, Tiger Memon and sent to Pakistan via Dubai on 19 February 1993, for training of the use of arms and bomb making. Upon completion of his training, Gullu returned to Mumbai via Dubai on 4 March 1993, only to find that in his absence the police had picked up his brothers to get him to surrender. In a vain attempt to secure his brothers' release, Gullu surrendered to the police. He confessed to his role in the riots, his training in Pakistan, and a conspiracy underway to bomb major locations around the city. http://www.mod.nic.in/Forms/list.aspx?Lid=1743&Id;=61 The arrest of Gul Mohammed spurred Tiger Memon to advance the date of the blasts which were to coincide with the Shiv Jayanti celebrations in April 1993 to 12 March to pre-empt any police action. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sena_Bhavan http://wikimapia.org/1477181/Sena-Bhavan Coordinates: 28°36'33"N 77°12'24"E At 1:30 pm a powerful car bomb exploded in the basement of the Mumbai Stock Exchange building. The 28-story office building housing the exchange was severely damaged, and many nearby office buildings also suffered some damage. About 50 were killed by this explosion. About 30 minutes later, another car bomb exploded in front of the Mandvi Branch Corporation Bank near Masjid, and from 1:30 pm to 3:40 pm a total of 13 bombs exploded throughout Mumbai. Most of the bombs were car bombs, but some were in scooters. Banks, the regional passport office, the Air India Building, and a major shopping complex were also hit. Bombs exploded at Zaveri Bazaar, area opposite of Century Bazaar, Katha Bazaar, Sena Bhavan, and Plaza Theatre. A jeep-bomb at the Century Bazaar exploded. Grenades were also thrown at Sahar International Airport and at Fishermen's Colony, apparently targeting Hindus at the latter. A double decker bus was very badly damaged with up to ninety people killed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_Memon Yakub Abdul Razak Memon (Yākūb Abdul Rajāk Mēmon) (30 July 1962 – 30 July 2015) (aged 53)was a terrorist who was convicted over his involvement in the 1993 Bombay bombings by Special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities court on 27 July 2007. Yakub Memon was the brother of one of the prime suspects in the bombings, Tiger Memon. His appeals and petitions for clemency were all rejected and he was executed by hanging on 30 July 2015 in Nagpur jail. Memon was executed by hanging in Nagpur Central Jail at around 6:30 AM IST on 30 July 2015, his 53rd birthday. A Pune police constable who had previously executed Ajmal Kasab served as the hangman. He became 24th person to be hanged at Nagpur central jail and the 59th in the Maharashtra state since 1947. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonia_Gandhi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(2004_film) http://www.mod.nic.in/Forms/list.aspx?Lid=1743&Id;=61 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran In 1935, Reza Shah requested the international community to refer to the country by its native name, Iran. As the New York Times explained at the time, "At the suggestion of the Persian Legation in Berlin, the Tehran government, on the Persian New Year, Nowruz, March 21, 1935, substituted Iran for Persia as the official name of the country." https://www.youtube.com/user/mamtamohinidhody
