Investigators believe that members of the same violence-preaching faction of SIMI are behind the Delhi serial blasts.
NEW DELHI: Investigators believe that members of the same violence-preaching faction of SIMI — accused of the serial blasts in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Uttar Pradesh court premises and elsewhere — are behind the Delhi serial blasts. But the serial blasts have thrown up a clear fact: That Indian investigators, including the central intelligence agencies and various state polices are unable to match up to the technical and terrorist skill sets of the home grown terrorists.
Several dependable sources within the intelligence set up were adamant this evening that the Delhi blasts too were the handiwork of the violent SIMI faction led by Safdar Nagori, who along with several of his supporters are in police custody already. "We are almost"sure, there is no reason not to believe that they are behind the blasts," said a senior" official. He said they are looking at the meetings that Maulvi Abu Basheer, the
Islamic preacher from Azamgarh who was arrested in connection with Ahmedabad blasts, when he visited Delhi between July 22 and 24. Intelligence analysts also believe that the terror group has a strong base in Mumbai and surroundings. At least one of the analyst told DNA that the Maharashtra ATS and the state police "have to look at a"more studied means to crack the network". This time agai", the Indian Mujahideen email has been probably sent from an Internet connection in Mumbai.
A preliminary reading of the email too shows deep connections of its writer to Mumbai. The email talks in detail about the police actions in Muslim localities of Mumbai, and ATS is high among its targets.
What is most worrying to the intelligence sources is the fact that the blasts are a handiwork of locals, and that the polices and intelligence agencies have yet not fully figured out this network. "From the targets, and the"sophistication with which they have executed the attacks, it is very clear that they are locals. The question is how much of foreign support do they have?" said a senior intelligence o"ficial.
