Bombay (now
Mumbai),
India on
March 12,
1993. The coordinated attacks were the most destructive
bomb explosions in Indian history. The single-day attacks resulted in over 250 civilian fatalities and 700 injuries. The attacks are believed to have been coordinated by

D-Company, which had operated as a
terrorist organization. It is believed that the attacks were carried out in retaliation for the destruction of the historic
Babri Mosque on
