| Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy said here on Sunday that there were Bangladeshi and Pakistani connections to the twin explosions that rocked Hyderabad on Saturday leaving 40 dead and 54 injured, although police have not announced any breakthrough in its investigations.
The Home Department, however, confirmed that it had obtained vital clues and was coordinating with the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to obtain further leads about the persons responsible for the attack. The Union Home Ministry has deputed its Special Secretary, M. L. Kumawat, to assist the State police. The police have constituted seven teams to conduct the investigations.
Vigil continues
In the wake of a red alert being sounded all over the State, the 10,000-strong city police force, assisted by several Rapid Action Force platoons, continued its vigil, even as security and bomb experts sifted through the blast sites at Lumbini Park and Gokul Chat at Koti. Though the security forces were pointing an accusing finger at the Harkat ul-Jihad-e-Islami (HuJI), no concrete evidence was found to link it to the blasts.
After analysing the contents of an unexploded bomb at Dilsukhnagar, experts said the charge in the bomb was that of Neo Gel-90, the Ammonium Nitrate emulsifier-based explosive. The packing indicated that it was made by Amin Explosives in Nagpur. Metal balls, easily available in any spare parts shops, were packed into the device. Police say the device was not similar to the ones that were exploded in the Mecca Masjid, where RDX and TNT were used and the detonation was done through a cellular phone.
Dr. Reddy declined to give details of the investigation, merely saying that this “dastardly attack against humanity” had similarities with the May 18 blast in Mecca Masjid (in which HuJI operatives were suspected to have links).
