MUMBAI, India (CNN) -- At least 70 people have been killed by seven bombs in what police described as a well-coordinated attack on rush-hour commuter trains in the Indian financial capital of Mumbai.

The Associated Press put the death toll at up to 100. Officials said more than 300 people were injured in the blasts, which took place between 6:20 and 7 p.m. (1250 and 1330 GMT) when the trains were packed with commuters making their way home.

A senior Bombay police official, P.S. Pasricha, told The Associated Press the explosions were part of a well-coordinated attack.

Vilasrao Deshmukh, the chief minister of Maharashtra state, where Bombay is located, said bombs caused all seven blasts, AP added. Story
