Needle of suspicion points to HuJI, Jaish
Special Correspondent
Two defused bombs recovered from Mecca Masjid shall be able to provide a clue
# Probe into commonalities of Delhi, Malegaon and Hyderabad blasts
# Jaish operatives were under pressure to "do something"
New Delhi: Intelligence agencies at the Centre are examining the possible involvement of two terror groups â the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and the Harkat ul-Jihad Islami (HuJI) â in Friday's bomb blast in Hyderabad's Mecca Masjid. The Jaish is based in the Pakistan-controlled territory, while HuJI operates out of Bangladesh.
According to informed sources, the Central agencies had inputs, dating back to March/April, that the Jaish operatives were under pressure from their handlers across the Line of Control to "do something." Nor were the handlers, according to the sources, averse to planting bombs in mosques.
The objective was and is to create communal disturbances in the country.
However, the sources did admit that there was no concrete proof, and any suggestion of Jaish involvement was "just a conjecture."
The agencies pin their hopes on the Hyderabad police's input about the possible HuJI involvement.
The bomb that went off was triggered from a mobile phone; and, according to reports, the two defused bombs recovered from the Mecca Masjid should be able to provide a clue. Analysts believe that if confirmed these "footprints" should be able to provide the first major breakthrough to anti-terror investigators.
For now, the Central agencies are probing the commonalities in the Hyderabad blast and the explosions in Delhi's Jama Masjid in 2006 and in Malegaon in 2006.
