"After Delhi, it was Gujarat and Maharashtra’s turn again. On 29 September 2008, i.e, just two days after Mehrauli incident, similar bombs exploded in Modasa and Malegaon. In Malegaon, two bombs planted on a bike went off near a hotel, killing ten people. Seventeen other explosive devices were diffused in other parts of the city. The blast in Modasa ended the life of a 15-year-old child and injured 10 others. The bomb was kept on a bike there as well, and the target was the vicinity of a local mosque. While these two explosions gained the media’s attention, the recovery of a bomb from Faridabad around the same time went largely unnoticed. It was the month of Ramzan and Navratri, and the bomb at Faridabad was planted near a temple. The terrorists clearly wanted to target large crowds belonging to both the communities."
