Jaipur Bombings: Still no claim of responsibility
Theories abound.
Here's mine. It has something to do with I-S-L-A-M. Just a wild guess, mind you.
Counterterrorism Blog is suspecting a tag team match: Multiple Terror Blasts in Jaipur City, SIMI-HuJI-LeT Alliance Suspected!
The government though (has) not ruled out the use of military explosives in these blasts (e.g.RDX), enough evidence of cocktail bombs emerged during initial mopping of the blast sites. Mobile phones, Iron pipes, wires and plastic substances, splinters and timer devices found with mangled bicycles and bikes. Looking at these findings, fingers of suspicion pointed at the Islamic terror alliance: Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islami (HuJI)- Lashkar e Toiba- Student Islamic Movements of India (SIMI). HujI has revolutionized use of mobile phones, commercial explosives and chemicals in most of terror strikes recently, e.g. in Mecca mosque blasts in Hyderabad last year.
Mumbai and Delhi have been put on terror alert. And fingers are being pointed in Pakistan's direction. Pakistan says, "Who, us?" and is pointing the finger at SIMI, HuJI and LeT. (Radical MOSLEM groups located in or near the region.)
A junior minister for home affairs in the Indian Government, Sriprakash Jaiswal, said he suspected a "foreign hand" was involved — normally a reference to India's arch-rival, Pakistan. However, Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani condemned the attacks. Three militant organisations — the Bangladesh-based Harkat-ul-Jehad-al-Islami, the Students Islamic Movement of India and Lashkar-e-Taiba — top the list of suspects.
Police have detained twelve people for questioning. They have also identified where the bicycles used in the attacks were bought and have a description of the buyer. (shown)
More about the explosive devices used in the well-coordinated attack:
"... the Forensic Science report confirmed the use of RDX in Tuesday’s serial blasts in the Pink City. Sources in the police told CNN-IBN RDX was packed on bicycles that were used as carriers to trigger off the blasts... the explosives used were powerful timer bombs capable of showering over 1,700 pellets.
And now a WOMAN is being sought for participation in the plot.
The police have launched a massive hunt for a woman who allegedly promised Rs.100,000 to a rickshaw puller to carry out the terror attacks that killed 80 people. "We are looking for a woman, identified as Meena, who tried to lure a rickshaw puller, Vijay, to carry out the attacks," a police officer said on the condition of anonymity. Vijay, a resident of Mumbai who suffered minor shrapnel injures, told the police that Meena lives near one of the blast sites. No further details of the woman's role in the bombings were available.
