latest on who is responsible for Bombay blasts?

Answer 1

Just after the Mumbai blasts, a call from Karachi to Dhaka said: "Mubarakan, mubarakan (congratulations)" — a clear mission-accomplished message.

Around the same time, a call from PCO near Juhu, Mumbai, went to an anxious "mother" in Karachi.

The caller assured his mother that he was all right (salamat) but could not disclose his location and, saying he could not talk at length, hung up.

An intensive intelligence operation involving central agencies and Mumbai police is on, trawling telecom gateways in Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata to track calls which contain "footprints" to Tuesday’s serial blasts.

The gateways route calls to Pakistan and Bangladesh, the two places where the terror mastermind could be holed up. The task is daunting but crucial.

It’s backbreaking and intensive work. But as communication had to be the key in such a meticulously terror operation, there were bound to be some tell-tale evidence — use of codes for bombs — that the perpetrators would have used.

Never a simple task, the job of investigators has been made even more difficult because the post-blast chaos at the train stations may well have destroyed precious forensic evidence and the mobile handsets of some of the terrorists who may have been able to alight from the trains on time.

As part of the cat-and mouse game, terrorists, said officials, have been getting wiser. No PCO is used twice. Masterminds always interface through Thruway sat phones, the ability to track which is limited to a few organisations.

Most police forces cannot track these hand-held sat phones, now common in West Asia, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Moreover, the calls are often routed through a third country in a variation of conferencing.

In Kathmandu, the police on Thursday confirmed arresting Pakistanis for dealing with RDX but the connection to the Mumbai blasts was not established

Answer 2

The likelihood is that the sophisticated coordinated attack on the trains in India's western commercial hub of Mumbai (Bombay) was carried out by al-Qaeda-linked groups seeking the independence of Muslim-majority Kashmir from India.

India's Anti-Terror Squad named two suspects, Sayyad Zabiuddin and Zulfeqar Fayyaz. The prime suspects are Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, the Pakistan based Islamic militant group, and Pakistan's intelligence agency. Lashkar has denied involvement.

Answer 3

P.S. Pasricha, director customary of police for Maharashtra state, the position Mumbai is placed, also revised in the previous lack of life toll figures, putting forward that 183 people were killed with the help of the blasts and 714 injured. ''We had an theory because some months that Mumbai replaced right into a objective,'' he informed newshounds. ''because that's the economic capital, there are quite a number of susceptible parts in the city. aims are nicely commonly used.'' Suspicion for the blasts right now fell on Kashmiri militants - quite the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba crew, which have in the previous employed close to-simultaneous explosions to attack Indian cities. This crew in assciation with a community muslim scholar crew (SIMI?) are suspected of creating plans this attack.
