If incidents of mob justice tarnished the year 2007, terror attacks have made 2008 a dark year. The Year of Terror Strikes - 2008 - saw militancy assuming different forms and magnitudes, starting with Jaipur serial blasts and culminating in Mumbai attacks.
The year saw an unknown terror outfit called the Indian Mujahideen coming into existence. It saw the alleged Hindu terrorism sprouting up to counter the so-called Muslim terrorism. It saw terrorists adopting novel modus operandi. It saw militants taking away security feeling from the minds of people.
As the repercussions of the terror saga continue to rock the nation and the world, we here try to put together the shattered pieces of the events together - scene by scene.
