SIM card used in Ajmer in same name as in Mecca Masjid blast

NEW DELHI: Investigators probing the terror attack on the shrine of sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishtir evening have found that the SIM card in the mobile used to trigger Wednesday's explosion was in the same name as that used in Mecca Masjid blasts in Hyderabad in May this year.
     
The SIM card recovered from the mobile phone attached with the unexploded device leads once again to Babu Lal Yadav of Noida whose photograph has been used by militants to purchase the card, sources said.
     
The explosive material Tri-Nitro-Toluene (TNT) with a little mix of RDX, had been connected to the alarm of the mobile phone. The alarm, which passes a small amount of electric current, would help in charging the explosive material and trigger the blast.
     
The recovery of the SIM card and assembling of the bomb, which had been kept in a tin box with a packing of iron pipes to be used as splinters, were quite similar to that used in the Mecca Masjid blast at Hyderabad in May this year.
     
Investigators said there was a possibility of Karachi-based Shahid Bilal, who heads Bangladesh-based Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islami, being the mastermind of the explosion at Ajmer as well.
     
In a related move, a team of CBI visited the blast site in Ajmer as the agency, which is probing the Mecca Masjid blast, wanted to see whether there was any link between the two incidents.
