What the fuck is wrong with the world?
Indian capital hit by explosions
At least 15 people are feared dead and many others wounded in three powerful blasts in the Indian capital, Delhi.
Two of the blasts took place in markets in central and southern Delhi which were crowded with people shopping ahead of two forthcoming religious festivals.
The third explosion took place in the area of Govindpuri which is in the southern part of the city.
It is not clear what caused the blasts, which police suspect were bomb attacks. No-one has admitted responsibility.
Charred bodies
At least 12 people were killed in the blast in Paharganj, an area close to Delhi's main railway station and popular with Western backpackers.
Many shops were damaged in the blasts.
"The blast was so powerful, my house shook," the Associated Press news agency quoted Kiran Mohan, a photo editor who lives about 200m (650 ft) away from Sarojini market, as saying.
Ambulances, sirens blaring, rushed the injured to nearby hospitals.
The BBC's Paul Danahar, who is at the site of the blast in Sarojini Nagar, says the scene in front of him is one of carnage and confusion.
At least three bodies, some of them badly charred, have been carried out of burning buildings by the police, our correspondent reports.
Most of the people affected were ordinary people out shopping in the festival season, he says.

I hope everyone I know in Delhi is okay; I can't get through phones. This is making me so so so sad...
