AP twin blasts: Cops clueless
27 Aug 2007, 0306 hrs IST,TNN

HYDERABAD: Twenty-four hours after the deadliest terror attack in the state, the Y S Rajasekhara Reddy government is clueless about the perpetrators of the act and the identity of their local operatives. The only progress made so far is that the material used in the bomb has been identified, one suspect rounded up and seven special police teams formed to track down sleeper cells of international terror operatives.

Barring that, the government went about with its familiar finger pointing at Pakistan and Bangladeshi-based terrorists.

Police sources said on Sunday that 'Neogel-90,' an ammonium nitrate-based emulsifier also known as 'ANFO' (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil), was used in the two bomb blasts at Lumbini Park and Gokul Chaat, and that the same material was found in the unexploded bomb discovered in Dilsukhnagar.

The explosive material was manufactured by Omni Explosives located in Nagpur. While teams have been dispatched to Nagpur for further investigations, it has come to light that Sohail, the owner of Omni Explosives, hails from Malakpet in the city — a clear indication of the penetration of international terror operatives in the form of local support.

At both the blast sites, the remnants of the explosive shells were of a crude nature. "The explosive material was put in a wooden box containing metallic iron balls and linked to an alarm clock, detonators and battery. Thus, these bombs are of a crude make, though activated by a timer device. The Mecca Masjid blasts were cellphone activated and triggered by remote-control mechanism. As a result, we do not have any telltale evidence in the Saturday blasts to work on," an official told TOI.

Meanwhile, Mustafa, said to be a butcher residing in Bibinagar on the outskirts of the city, in Nalgonda district, has been picked up by police for questioning. With the owner of the explosives unit in Nagpur also having Hyderabadi links, the police are hopeful that questioning these two would give them some clues in the case.

In another development, the state on Sunday set up seven special teams to identify ISI activities in the state, as well as weed out sleeper cells of international terror operatives. It has come to light that the operatives have activated sleeper cells not only in Hyderabad, but in neighbouring Nalgonda, Warangal and Mahbubnagar districts as well.

In the meantime, the top police brass as well as intelligence agencies pointed fingers at HuJI operative Shahid Bilal, who was earlier in Bangladesh but is now said to be based in Pakistan.

While HuJI and ISI may be the masterminds of terror activities in India, the police are clueless as to the identity of their local operatives who actually carry out the acts.

Analysts pointed out that the progress made by the cops in the latest case is far slower than the pace at which they had moved in the Mecca Masjid blast case.
