Islamabad, July 14 (IANS) The string of massive blasts in India's financial hub Mumbai was splashed across the Pakistani media Thursday.

Most Pakistani websites gave prominent display to the news of the massive explosions at three places in Mumbai.

On Wednesday evening, at least 17 people were killed and 131 injured in Mumbai as three blasts ripped through the city -- at Dadar in central Mumbai and Zaveri Bazaar and Opera House in south Mumbai -- making it the worst terror attack since the 26/11 savagery.
