BOMBAY, India (AP) — The death toll from a series of bombs that struck Bombay's packed commuter trains rose July 12 to 200, as rescue efforts uncovered more bodies and people succumbed to their injuries.

Officials also said that more than 700 people were wounded in the attack on the world's most crowded rail network.

Many in Bombay suspect the attacks were the work of Kashmiri militants that New Delhi claims are trained, armed and funded by Pakistan

Pakistan insists it only offers the rebels diplomatic and moral support, but it has harshly condemned the bombings.

Commuters, meanwhile, returned warily to the trains

"We had always thought trains were safe. But what can we do? In this city trains are the lifeline," said Brijesh Ojha, 35, who boarded a train where the first blast occurred. "They can't scare us this way."

This is not the first time that the city of 16 million has been rocked by explosions. The city also suffered blasts in 1993 that included the Bombay Stock Exchange, killing more than 250 people.
