The bomb attacks!

The death toll from a series of bomb blasts in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad climbed to 45 as the provincial government ordered a probe along with federal agencies to search for suspects.

``Investigations with all the concerned agencies at the highest level is going on now,'' Jaynarayan Narmadasankar Vyas, health minister of the Gujarat state, said in a telephone interview from Ahmedabad today. ``The central and state intelligence agencies are coordinating in the probe.''

Terrorist attacks in Indian cities have killed more than 185 people in the past year as bombs strapped to bicycles or hidden under theater seats and near market stalls have targeted civilians. While the government typically blames foreign-trained terrorists, most of the attacks are unsolved.

The dead included three women and two children, N.R. Baraiya, an officer at the police control room in Ahmedabad, said in a telephone interview today. The toll from 16 serial blasts that rocked the city late yesterday mounted as people wounded in the attacks succumbed to injuries in hospitals, he said. City hospitals are treating more than 100 injured in the attacks.

The police are looking for suspects and there have been no arrests so far, Baraiya said. ``There were no untoward incidents overnight.''

The explosions, all within 20 minutes in commercial and residential areas of the city, came a day after seven bombs exploded in the southern city of Bangalore, killing at least two people. An unexploded bomb was defused by police after it was found near a downtown shopping mall yesterday.

`Linked Blasts'

``The blasts are all linked one way or the other -- whether it is Bangalore or Jaipur,'' Vyas said. The agencies probing the blasts will come to a conclusion soon.''

An Islamist group called the ``Indian Mujahideen'' claimed responsibility for the Gujarat attacks.. An e-mail was sent to various television stations and media outlets within minutes of the blasts, the news agency said.

Anti-terrorist squad raided two flats in western Indian city of Mumbai after the e-mail address of the sender was traced, private broadcaster CNN-IBN reperted on its Web site.

Blasts occurred in areas including Maninagar, Isanpur, Narol Circle, Bapunagar, Hatkeshwar, Sarangpur Bridge, Sarkej, Odhav, Sardar Patel market, Raipur, Gowribhadi, Ambur Tower Building and Juhapura, police spokesman Raman Bhai said yesterday.

Two bombs went off in Maninagar, and an explosion in Sarkej was centered on a passenger bus, PTI said. A bomb was recovered today from a garbage bin in the Hatkeshwar area of Ahmedabad, CNN-IBN reported. Police have detained 30 people, it said.

`Vicious Attacks'

The U.S. condemned the ``vicious terror attacks in Bangalore and Ahmedabad'' and extended its ``condolences to victims of these senseless attacks and to their families,'' the PTI said, according to a statement issued by the embassy in New Delhi.

Riot police marched on the streets of Ahmedabad today ``to maintain peace and communal harmony,'' G.K. Parmar, joint commissioner of police said in a telephone interview. ``They are marching in all the places where the blasts occurred.''

In 2002, a train fire in the town of Godhra in Gujarat state killed 59 people, mostly members of the Vishwa Hindu Council returning from Ayodhya after a ceremony, triggering religious riots in which almost 2,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed.

Godhra Train Fire

The Gujarat state government was accused by political parties and human rights groups of not doing enough to protect minorities during the riots that followed the Godhra train fire. Modi's BJP government was subsequently returned to power in elections that took place in December 2002.

Pakistan prime minister, condemned the latest blasts in on government Web site.

The Bangalore blasts were the first attempted bombings in the southern Indian city, where unidentified gunmen opened fire on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science in December 2005, killing one scientist and injuring four.

As many as 60 people were killed in Jaipur two months ago in the nation's deadliest attack in more than a year. Nine bombs placed on bicycles injured more than 100 people.

Bomb explosions on suburban trains in Mumbai, India's financial hub and the Maharashtra capital, killed at least 182 people and injured more than 800 in July 2006, India's worst series of attacks in more than a decade.

``Such incidents will not deter the government from pursuing its policy of dealing with anti-national elements in a resolute manner,'' India's Home Minister, said at a televised press conference in New Delhi yesterday.

Life at the luxirious dubai!

Located on the Jumeirah coastal area of Dubai, Palm Jumeirah is the smallest of the trio of Palm Islands constructed as a tribute to the "cherished date tree". The other two of the Palm Islands include Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira.

A Discerning Landmark Even From Outer Space

In a kingdom of exceptional property development projects, Palm Jumeirah holds its own as Dubai's most ambitious and recognizable project to date. Designed to resemble the prized date tree, this unique man-made island consists of the main trunk with a crown comprising of 17 fronds. The surrounding crescent island forms an innovative 11km long breakwater. A 300-meter bridge connects the crown to the mainland and a sub-sea tunnel connects the crescent to the top of the palm. Doubling the length of the Dubai coastline; the entire island measures 5km by 5km with a total area that is larger than 800 football pitches put together. Large enough to be seen from outer space and with a shape that could not be mistaken for any other, Palm Jumeirah is truly a discerning landmark from earth as well as from outer space.

The Best Of Island Living

Conceived as a luxurious retreat and residential area for living, leisure and relaxation, this man-made island offers villas, shoreline apartment buildings, themed boutique hotels, five-star hotels, marinas, beaches, beach cafes, restaurants and an endless assortment of retail outlets.The trunk of this palm tree shaped property development is lined with plush town houses and state-of-the-art apartment blocks right on the shoreline. The three types of luxury signature villas, which include Garden Homes, Signature Villas and Canal Cove Town Homes, take up most of the branches. Every single dwelling, no matter what the category, is spacious, luxurious and well-finished and offers their residents private beaches besides a host of other amenities and facilities. In addition to all this, residents can enjoy spectacular views of the man made beaches. Some of the leading international hotel brands that dot this exclusive island include Movenpick Resort & Spa Palm Jumeirah, Movenpick Resort Oceana Palm Jumeirah, Dusit, Taj Exotica Resort and Spa, Shangri La, Oberoi, Marriott, Radisson SAS, Kempinski, Antara, Fairmont Palm Residence and Hilton amongst others.

The Making Of The Island

Palm Jumeirah is the end result of four years of methodical and careful planning and exhaustive feasibility studies to ensure that the islands would not have an adverse effect on the environment or disrupt it in any way. The first stage of this ambitious property comprised the construction of the land foundations, which entailed transferring of sand and precise placement of rock. The second stage included the construction of the 990 feet ( 300 meter) bridges that linked the island to the main land as well as the building of infrastructure and services, followed by the construction of the home, apartments and townhouses.

Palm Jumeirah- Luxury At A Price

The privilege of owning a private beach or a private swimming pool with a Palm Jumeirah villa comes at a price, but its one that is well worth paying. A whole host of celebrity home owners who have already staked their claim on this high end property development are testament to the luxurious lifestyle that Palm Jumeirah offers its residents as well as its visitors.

Life at argentina!

Graffiti denouncing bankers as thieves and scoundrels still stains walls here, and small groups of angry depositors continue to pound on the front doors of many banks. But more than a year after Argentina froze most bank accounts in a failed attempt to stave off economic collapse, the financial sector is finally showing tentative signs of recovery.

Restrictions on cash withdrawals from some accounts were relaxed late in 2002; now President Eduardo Duhalde's caretaker government is allowing selected banks to give savers access to all the money in their time-deposit accounts. About four-fifths of depositors are choosing to leave their newly liberated savings in the banks.

Interest rates that had soared to unsupportable levels are beginning to fall, and partly as a result, some banks are venturing hesitantly back into the business of offering loans.

Since December 2001, the banking system has been the focal point of the worst economic crisis in Argentina's history. The government then in power was forced out by public protests against the bank freeze, and the new governments that followed in quick succession defaulted on most of Argentina's $141 billion in public debt, scrapped a decade-long policy of fixing the Argentine peso's value at one American dollar, and allowed the peso to float. The currency lost nearly 75 percent of its value.

Banks were especially big losers in the national debacle, suffering substantial financial pain on the one hand while being tarred as villains by the protesters on the other. The government ordered the banks to use a higher exchange rate when converting customers' deposits from dollars to pesos than when converting outstanding loans from dollars to pesos, inflicting losses on the banks estimated at more than $15 billion; the government has reimbursed the banks for only about two-thirds of the losses.

''We still have to absorb some of the impact of those initial months, and some recapitalization has to be done,'' Roberto Lavagna, the economy minister, acknowledged in an interview here. ''After that, the new rules of the game have to be defined clearly so that the sector knows how to act.''

At the moment, banks are still in the dark, awaiting Supreme Court rulings on a series of lawsuits by customers who had deposited dollars before the crisis, demanding repayment in dollars rather than in pesos, as the government has decreed. Because no one can be sure what peso-dollar exchange rate would be used if the suits succeed, most banks remain hesitant to offer new credits.

''We can't do a balance sheet, because we don't have the numbers, and we won't have the numbers until all of the options are spelled out,'' said a senior executive at a leading private bank. ''With a presidential election scheduled for April 27 and a new government supposed to be sworn in a month later, that's not going to happen until the middle of the year, at the earliest.''

But the crisis has also revealed an unexpected resilience in the Argentine banking sector. A handful of foreign banks threw up their hands and walked away from the country soon after the crisis began, including the Bank of Nova Scotia and Crédit Agricole. But despite dire predictions in early 2002, no domestic bank has closed.

Deposits poured out of the banks before the crisis and, to the extent the freeze allowed, in the first few months after as well. But after touching bottom in the middle of 2002, deposits have been rebounding -- over all, they grew 38 percent from July 1 to Jan. 31, and some Argentine-owned banks have reported growth of more than 50 percent.

''That was a gratifying surprise,'' said Fábio Rodríguez, who tracks the banking sector for Fundación Capital, a leading economic policy analysis group here. But Mr. Rodríguez warned: ''The road ahead is enormous. The financial sector today is one-quarter the size it was in 2000, and it is going to take years to recover, so serious was the damage to public confidence.''

One looming issue is the fate of the country's network of government-owned banks. As part of a debt rollover agreement reached with the Argentine government in January, the International Monetary Fund insisted that an international accounting firm scrutinize these banks, including Banco de la Nación and banks owned by provincial and municipal governments.
