Floods in Pakistan
The onslaught of Monsoon (June – September) rains again took Pakistan in its grip and this time it caused hundreds of casualties and over 200,000 homeless people. Badin was the center of crisis as the flood started in early months but become more severe due to continuous rainfall. The only difference between this event and last year’s tragic flood was that international aid somewhat helped the effected but in 2011 even the aid was scarce and was not provided in time which made the disaster even worse than the last years flood of 2010.
Mumbai Blasts 2011, India
Three near-simultaneous explosions rocked Mumbai on July 13, 2011, killing at least 21 people and injuring 141. The blasts occurred within minutes of each other in the areas of Opera House, Zaveri Bazaar and Dadar, all busy commercial hubs of Mumbai. There was speculation that the pattern of the blasts suggested involvement of Indian Mujahideen. According to the Special cell of the Delhi Police, Indian Mujahideen has been conducting blasts on the 13 or 26 of the month.  Speculation was also rife that the Mumbai underworld could be behind these blasts, in the light of the killing of ‘Mid Day’ Crime journalist Jyotirmoy Dey, as well as the attempted assassination of Dawood Ibrahim’s brother, Iqbal Kaskar on 3 May. 13 July is also observed as Kashmir Martyr’s day, and there could be a possibility that the attacks were carried out by Kashmiri groups. There is also a view that the attacks could have been plotted by those trying to derail the Indo-Pakistani peace process.
