Bombay attacks in pictures. Sad pictures. Dont read the comments where people are blatantly blaming Pakistan. This instant blame of each other when things go wrong in each others’ countries needs to stop. Ignorant fucks from each side can blame each other to hell. Lets stop the blame and start working together for a solution to death and bloodshed.
