There was a delay in 5 -10 minutes in each blast, police has reported that this is has been tried by amateurs and not professionals.

Terrorism finally targeted Bangalore.

Main targets are IT companies and big malls.

Major junctions are facing severe traffic jams, try not to leave your homes and offices as yet.

All the blasts were of low intensity and did not cause much damage. Looks like the blasts were targeted at disrupting the peace in the city rather than to take lives.

If anyone coming by side of major /arterial roads , report the traffic situation?. It would be a boon for fellow-bhpians like me who is following this thread more than the news channels.

We're right in the center of these areas. All the roads are packed.
