'Pakistan army explosive used in Varanasi blast'
LUCKNOW: The forensic examination of the samples collected from the blast site in Varanasi last Tuesday has revealed that the explosive used by terrorists is mainly used by the Pakistan army in making grenades.
Police sources said that terrorists had used ammonium nitrate in combination with either TNT or C-4 as the blast left a plume of smoke and not fire. C-4 is closer to RDX in its formation and is difficult to detect.
Police believe that terrorists had apparently planned to cause a stampede which would have resulted in bigger casualties.
According to investigating agencies, terror outfit Indian Mujahideen was responsible for the blast.
The forensic revelation also confirms reports that Pakistan is fully involved in the patronage of Indian Mujahideen cadres to keep the security forces on their toes and, if possible, create communal tension and violence, police sources said.
Reports suggest that since the ban on the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) in 2006, most of the active members of the outfit have joined the Indian Mujahideen.
While the primary focus of Pakistan remains on Kashmir, it has a vested interest in Indias instability; security, political and economic. There is a clear pattern from the Parliament attack, to the Mumbai attack and to the blasts at religious places, over the past one decade, a senior Intelligence officer said.
