Bombs in Mumbai this month aimed to derail talks this week between India and Pakistan - whose intelligence services almost certainly backed the devastating Mumbai attack in 2008. Despite historic hatreds on both sides, it didn't work.
'Designs to derail the dialogue once again' will not deter Pakistan, its Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said. Foreign ministers from both sides are set to meet today while US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited India last week.
Three explosions hit India's largest city during evening rush hour on July 13, killing 23 people. These attacks were well co-ordinated, but fairly amateurish compared with the attacks in 2008 by heavily armed suicide attackers who hit Jewish and tourist centres, killing 166.
This looks more like the work of one of the many Kashmiri nationalist-Islamist groups responsible for scores of attacks throughout India, fighting with Pakistani backing to get India out of the disputed Muslim-majority province.
Relations between India and Pakistan have not normalised since the 2008 attack, despite the efforts towards rapprochement this year.
Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency is likely to be accused of helping the latest attacks, yet this does not mean an escalation of border skirmishes or even a major diplomatic row.
