Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Indian police said yesterday that they had arrested an important member of the group which planned this month's bombing blitz on Bombay, in which at least 250 people died and 1,400 were injured, Reuter reports from Bombay.

'He knows the whole thing,' said Amarjeet Singh Samra, the Bombay police chief. 'He took part in conspiracy discussions in the week before the bombings.' While the suspect did not take part in the bombings - he opted out at the last minute - he was assigned a target and had received training. Mr Samra did not reveal his identity, except to say he was 'an aggrieved person'.
