A special court on Friday convicted 12 of the 13 accused for the second deadliest terror attack on Indian soil, which killed 188 and injured 817 first-class suburban commuters during evening rush-hour on July 11, 2006 on the world's busiest rapid transit system.

All 12 convicts face a maximum punishment of death and a minimum of life in jail for their role in the plot
 The investigators had said the bombings were designed by the Pak-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which used banned Indian outfit SIMI, to execute their plan. According to the police, 10 members of the LeT had brought around 15-20kg RDX with them from Pakistan and made bombs using the deadly explosive. They used young Indians to execute their terror plot.

The seven blasts occurred in a span of eight minutes, starting 6.23pm, on trains at or near Khar, Bandra, Jogeshwari, Mahim, Borivli, Matunga and Mira Road stations.
