India’s security agencies have successfully dismantled a colossal terror plot that threatened to unleash unprecedented carnage. The operation involved an arsenal of 3,200 kilograms of explosives, meticulously prepared to be used in 32 synchronized car bomb attacks. This sinister plan, orchestrated by what is described as a ‘white-collar’ module, aimed to inflict mass casualties and widespread terror. Each of the 32 vehicles was reportedly outfitted with approximately 100 kilograms of ammonium nitrate, transforming them into powerful instruments of destruction. The potential impact of such a coordinated attack is immense; experts estimate that a 3,200 kg bomb has a blast equivalent of 2.5 tons of TNT. This could lead to complete annihilation in the immediate vicinity, severe internal injuries from shockwaves traveling at high speeds, and the collapse of structures hundreds of meters away. Comparing the plot to historical events like the Oklahoma City bombing, which utilized 1,800 kg of explosives and caused extensive casualties, highlights the gravity of what India has avoided. While the majority of the explosives and some vehicles have been recovered, the lingering threat of 300 kg of missing explosives and 29 unidentified cars demands continued vigilance from national security forces.
