As the capital came under the grip of terror on Saturday evening, people remembered the serial blasts of October 29, 2005, incidentally was also a Saturday.

The serial blasts in Ahmedabad occurred on July 26 - a Saturday evening.

While 62 people were killed on the eve of Diwali three years ago, Saturday's blasts at three places in the city has so far claimed at least 18 lives and nearly 100 injured.
