1993 Bombay bombings
The 1993 Bombay bombings was a series of 12 terrorist bombings that took place in Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra, on 12 March 1993. The single-day attacks resulted in 257 fatalities and 1,400 injuries. The attacks were coordinated by Dawood Ibrahim, leader of the Mumbai-based international organised crime syndicate D-Company. Ibrahim was believed to have ordered and helped organize the bombings through his subordinate Tiger Memon. For several years, confusion existed about the number of blasts, whether they were 12 or 13 in number.
