Mumbai - Investigators today believed at least six newly recruited
terrorists could have been involved in placing explosives in the
triple bombings but there were no signs of a breakthrough in the
probe nearly a week after the attack.
Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS), probing last Wednesday's
Mumbai serial blasts, also suspect that the suspected attackers might
have gone in pairs at the three sites--Opera House, Zaveri Bazar and
Dadar -- and that they have links with Gujarat and West Bengal. No
organisation has so far claimed responsibility.
The death toll in the attack rose to 20 with one person, Ashok Bhata
(45), succumbing to his injuries today while undergoing treatment in
a government hospital here.
"During our meetings with the various security agencies including
NIA, there was an unanimous opinion that there could be at least six
accused who must have been involved in the operation of placing the
explosives at the (three) sites," an ATS official said.
They all must have been newly recruited in the terror outfit
responsible for the blasts, the official said, adding they might have
gone to the sites in pairs.
"We have a reason to believe that the terrorists could have strong
links with Gujarat and Kolkata," the officer said but refused to
divulge further details.
The nationwide hunt by the investigators was also intensified in an
attempt to get some solid leads that could help them to nab the
attackers.
The perpetrators of the blasts had kept explosives in a tiffin box at
Zaveri Bazaar while the nature of metallic containers in which the
bombs were kept at Dadar and Opera house is not yet clear, the
official added.
The state ATS, Mumbai Crime Branch and National Investigating
Agency(NIA) held a meeting that went on for several hours in which
the progress of the case was reviewed and investigation angles were
discussed, the sources added.
Talking about the sketch of a suspect circulated among the
investigators, the officer said, "The suspect was involved in the
blast at Zaveri Bazaar. Only select investigators, who are part of
the 12 core teams formed to probe the blasts, and a few top
informers, have seen the sketch. The sketch of the suspect, who could
also be seen in the CCTV footage, was prepared with the help of
eyewitnesses."
He said the firm tasked with enhancing the CCTV footages was giving
amazing results. "This firm's studio has also worked for the
Hollywood movies. They appear to be experts in enhancing grainy
footages."
The pieces of timer mechanism and battery could not be found at the
sites, he said adding, "Digital timers were used to trigger the
blasts. And it seems that they (terrorists) had planned to trigger
the blasts simultaneously, but something might have gone wrong at the
last moment (the explosives went off within a span of 15 minutes)."
Asked if investigators suspect that the same module of Indian
Mujahideen (IM) that was behind the Jama Masjid blast in Delhi
executed the Mumbai bombings, the official did not rule out such a
possibility at this stage of the probe.
A joint team of Mumbai Police and Maharashtra ATS has also questioned
in Gujarat suspected IM operative Danish Riaz, arrested for the 2008
Ahmedabad blasts, in connection with the July 13 terror attack.
Danish was arrested from Vadodara railway station on June 21.
