LATEST NEWS:
The blasts occurred near two theatres in Dilsukhnagar, a
busy commercial area in the southern part of city, about 15 km from the heart
of the city.
The first blast occurred around 7 pm near a tiffin centre
opposite Venkatadri theatre and the second near Konark theatre. Both the
theatres are about 500 meters from each other.
The injured were shifted to Yashoda Hospital at Malakpet and
to the government-run Osmania Hospital.
Gory pictures of victims were seen. Others who were bleeding
and injured were shifted to ambulances. There was a stampede-like situation
with people trying to run for safety after the explosions.
The Andhra Pradesh police have said that 10
people have been killed and 50 people are injured. The casualties are set to
rise.
Police are yet to ascertain nature of the explosions. They
are checking if it was a gas cylinder blast or a bomb blast. The area has been
cordoned off.
Eye witnesses said they heard two loud explosions. The cause
of the explosions was not immediately known. No group has claimed
responsibility for the attack.
Ambulances and police vehicles have been rushed to the area.
Andhra Pradesh put on high alert.
Sources say a NSG team will visit blast-hit Hyderabad.
Police said the bombs may have been placed in a cycle.
Union Home Secretary RK Singh said the NSG team is leaving
by a BSF aircraft. A team of NIA hub stationed in Hyderabad has also rushed to
the spot.
The previous major attack in Hyderabad was on August 25,
2007 when two blasts took place almost simultaneously.
The first blast was reported at a park and it was followed
by another in a eating joint in Hyderabad.
Chief Minister N Kiran Reddy rushed to the blast site.
"We have been in touch with state government
officials," RK Singh, the top bureaucrat in the federal interior ministry,
told reporters in New Delhi."Ten people were killed and 50 injured."
The explosions come less than two weeks after India hanged a
Kashmiri man for a militant attack on the country's parliament in 2001 that had
sparked violent clashes.
TV showed debris and body parts strewn on the street in the
Dilsukhnagar area of Hyderabad, a crowded neighbourhood of cinema halls, shops,
restaurants and a fruit and vegetable market.
In July 2011, three near-simultaneous blasts ripped through
India's financial capital, Mumbai. At least 20 people were killed and over 100
wounded in the blasts set off by Muslim militants, authorities said.
Last year, four small explosions occurred in quick
succession in a busy shopping area of of Pune.

As a Indian I feel so sad and just want to ask why government is not able to tackle such kind of attack. We can not see such kind of heinous act. Govt should act immediately and catch all killers immediately.
