LUCKNOW: Serial blasts on Friday rocked three cities of Uttar Pradesh killing ten people, including two lawyers, in Faizabad and Varanasi while injuring two in state capital in explosions triggered by terrorists apparently targeting lawyers.

The blasts, which took place between 1300 and 1330 hours, claimed seven lives in Faizabad and three in Varanasi. In both the places the dead included one lawyer each.

Superintendent of Police (City) in Varanasi Rajeev Malhotra said 20 people were also injured.

Those dead in Varanasi were identified as Bodh Raj Verma (advocate), Yagya Narain Singh, Moolchand Singh and a 11-year-old boy Sanjeev Kumar.

Two seriously injured persons in Faizabad have been rushed to King George Medical College hospital in Lucknow for treatment, District Magistrate Anil Garg said. In all about 25 people were injured in Faizabad.

In the state capital, the blast took place when a bomb kept in a cycle exploded, sources said adding the intensity of the blast here was not much.

According to reports, a militant group called 'Indian Mujahideen' has claimed responsibility for the blast. Reports said an e-mail was sent to major television networks in the country detailing the blasts, five minutes before it occurred.

Bomb disposal squads have been pressed into service in the three districts and were conducting extensive searches of court premises, police said.

Rescue work is going on in full swing, according to the Inspector-General of Lucknow. A high level meeting is taking place in Lucknow to respond to the situation

The blasts came a week after the Uttar Pradesh police along with central security agencies busted a Jaish-e-Mohammed module who wanted to target Rahul Gandhi. Lawyers had thrashed the three JeM militants when they were being produced before a court here.

Police believe the lawyers were targetted because they refused to appear in cases where suspected militants arrested.

Union Home Ministry got in touch with the state authorities to have a first-hand information about the situation in the state.


HuJI behind multiple blasts in UP?

NEW DELHI: Banned Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islamia (HuJI) is believed to be behind the serial blasts that rocked the Uttar Pradesh on Friday killing over a dozen people besides injuring several others.

Sources in the security agencies said the terror strike could be seen as a revenge by the banned outfit for the assault on its members including the recent incident when lawyers manhandled three Jaish-e-Mohammed militants arrested in Lucknow last week.

They said Jaish could have sought the help of HuJI as both the outfits followed the Deoband sect of Islam.

HuJI, which is being mainly run from Bangaldesh, has managed to establish cells in the Uttar Pradesh and that the outfit was responsible for previous major terror attacks.

All three court premises in Lucknow, Faizabad and Varanasi, targeted on Friday by the militants, had seen an incident of manhandling of militants or activists of anti-Ram temple in Ayodhya by lawyers.

Last week three JeM militants were roughed up by lawyers and the bar association refused to take up their cases.

Faizabad court premises was witness to an altercation between activists of a Babri Masjid organisation and lawyers. The local bar association had banned its advocates from taking up their case.

The court premises in Varanasi was witness last year to beating of a Waliullah Khan, the main accused in the Sankat Mochan temple explosions.

In a related development, an outfit by the name of Al-Hind Mujahideen had claimed responsibility about the attacks and sent emails to some media houses.
