26 years ago on this day, Coimbatore saw back-to-back bomb blasts orchestrated by Islamist terrorist SA Basha, the founder of terror organization Al-Ummah.

This devastating series of 12 bomb attacks unfolded across 11 different locations killing 58 and leaving 252 seriously injured for life.

The bombings were part of a larger conspiracy with the sinister aim of targeting BJP leader L.K. Advani, during his election meeting scheduled for 4 PM on that ill-fated day. Fortunately, Advani’s flight was delayed, and he narrowly escaped the horrors of that day.

The horrific terror attack occurred under the watch of the then DMK government led by Karunanidhi.

The memories of the blasts may have faded in the minds of some politicians, as is evident from the way the DMK, ADMK and the Dravidianist media have been humanizing these terrorists upon their release.

However, the wounds are far from healed for the survivors and their families.
