The serial bomb blasts across the south Indian city of Bangalore should be strongly condemned as cowardly, violent acts that only bring about destruction and instability. Innocent people should never pay the price in blood as a result of an act of terror.
The bombs in the city, known as the Indian IT capital, were detonated with the use of timers according to the police, and left at least two people dead and fifteen injured.
The police have yet to identify those behind the attacks but the effect of the blasts has already been felt in the city, where several IT firms, schools and colleges have been closed. Whatever the agenda of the attackers may have been, resorting to violence would not prove at all to be the best means of resolving matters or addressing problems. Instead they could be used as a reasoning to inflict further bloodshed.
