2 simultaneous blasts in Varanasi Court.

One of the blasts took place inside the office of an advocate.

The courts don't have heavy security. Anyone can enter and leave as they please. It was very easy to plant the bombs apparently.

6 unexploded bombs recovered from the sites.

Hmmm strange. Why would courts be targeted? Was any special case hearing going on during the blast?

 

[Sam Dhanraj]

I was wondering on why District Courts were targeted.

Easy Target ??

Or because Lawyers had attacked and assaulted the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militants nabbed in Uttar Pradesh last week (Rahul Gandhi's Kidnapping foiled case) ??

Time of the blasts: 1:26-1:31pm IST.

UP Intelligence Agencies say a group called Indian Mujahideen has claimed responsibility.
It is believed to be a Pakistan based group by these agencies.

Top police officials say that they received warning emails indicating that blasts would take place. The emails did not specify where or when.

IB officials are saying that the blasts are linked to the arrest of the JeM and LeT terrorists who plotted to capture politicians.

LUCKNOW: At least twelve persons were killed and over a dozen injured in serial blasts that rocked civil courts in Lucknow, Faizabad and Varanasi on Friday.

While four persons were killed in the Faizabad blast, seven persons were killed in the Varanasi blast. The death toll is likely to rise in both the blasts.

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.

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

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.

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.

You better get used to it. India isn't the only country blaming Pakistan-based terrorists for attacks on its soil.

India TV received an e-mail from guru alhindi at 1:18 pm, minutes before the serial blasts, claiming that the blasts will go off at the scheduled time.

Indian Mujahiddin claimed in the e-mail sent to India TV that the blasts were targeted at the lawyers who had refused to take the case of two groups and even didn’t allow others to take their cases who were nabbed by police on terrorist charges.

They also claimed in the e-mail that their next target will be Indian Police.

Well a country called India where there is so much internal hatred among the political divide and where 90 % of its parliamentarians are with criminal record and where Political parties and politicians are used to stage such dramas to get attention and votes, India should try to clean its mess created by its own people.
Every time balming Pakistan for its affairs wont do any good to counter such dramas.

even a Sane person can understand that not a single such incident on record in Indian history where Indian Police and government just after that incident not blamed Pakistan.
Isnt it starnge before any investigation the indians give the verdict???

ANd one more thing if you guys are so sure about it than why on earth you guys never succeeded in taking stringent measures???

May be for the similar reasons PA could not take those measures in NWFP, SWAT earlier.
Thankfully you can take those actions now under a General's rule and also because more or less there is one religion in majority in your country. Unlike our multi religion and B@@@@@@S politicians who play religion card for their vote banks
