		The Mumba Devi temple is one of Bombay’s main Hindu temples; the Gateway of India is its main tourist attraction.
		A coordinated attack at the Gateway and the temple are akin, in Paris, to terrorists hitting the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame at the same time or, in London, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey.
		Many Indians, though, will jump to conclusions and believe that this was the work of Pakistan’s Lashkar-e-Taiba Islamic militant group, said to be responsible for the Parliament attack and blamed for the Bombay bus bomb in July which left three people dead.
