Blasts in Bangalore

This was waiting to happen for quite some time now. We all knew Bangalore can't be far behind other major cities in India when it comes to terror attacks and explosions. I seriously wonder why it has taken the BAD so much longer to actually kick off blasts in Bangalore. There can be many possible reasons to this. Bangalore police is giving these guys a real hard time or they are in the process of planning something real huge. The second possibility seems more realistic and scary. And the fact that we have had 8-9 serial blasts on 07/25 rules out Bangalore police giving these BAD guys a tough time. This is an excerpt from the Times - "Bangalore police have not yet linked Friday's blasts to terror groups. Since they were low intensity blasts, police say the intention was to create terror and panic and not cause massive damage." I just hope these comments from Bangalore police are to calm down the residents and not to convince themselves that these low intensity blasts were actually caused to disrupt harmony and create panic. Everyone knows what the goal of the BAD is. Its definitely not to set of a few low intensity blasts and laugh their a**es off seeing innocents run helter skelter. They have a cause and are ready to live or die by it. Hope our Police get a whiff of what the BAD are upto. Even to a layman's eye these blasts seem like a dry run of a massive plan which if executed might leave a permanent scar on the city. Is anybody listening? Have the authorities thought of this angle as yet? Or are we going to let it happen and then worry about blaming groups for the attacks or give reasons for the attacks?
