Mumbai's prominence as India's financial capital has also made it a target for criminal gang and terrorist violence; the former, apparently by a Muslim gang in revenge for the 1993 riots, was the cause of some 250 deaths from bombings in 1993, and the latter was suspected in the July, 2006, bomb attacks that killed some 200 people.
