Bombs- one after another:

West Bengal has witnessed a large number of such incidents in the recent past. Burdwan had hit the headlines after a module of the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen, Bangladesh had been busted.

Only a few days back a major explosion in Midnapore claimed 17 lives which included 12 children who were working in an illegal firecracker unit. Several blasts were also reported during the recently held civic polls, but all were bombs meant to scare and not kill.
