New Delhi (PTI): Banned
Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islamia (HuJI), operating from Bangladesh, is believed
to be behind the serial blasts that rocked the tourist city of Jaipur
on Tuesday evening, killing nearly 50 people besides injuring several
others.
Though baffled by the attack as Jaipur
was not on the terror radar, sources said the tell-tale signs of the
blasts indicate HuJI's hand.
The blasts showed that HuJI, which is
being mainly run from Bangladesh, has managed to establish cells in
Rajasthan and that the outfit was responsible for previous major terror
attacks including the New Year eve attack on CRPF camp in Rampur and
serial blasts in three other places in Uttar Pradesh.
The last terror strike in Rajasthan
occurred on October 11, 2007 when an explosion in the Dargah of Khwaja
Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer left two persons dead and 17 others injured.
HuJI outfit, suspected to be behind the
blast at the sufi shrine, had used a mixture of Tri-Nitro Toluene (TNT)
as the explosive material.
In today's blasts also, pieces of iron
pipe were used by militants as splinters that pierced through victims
at the crowded places in the Pink city.
The sources did not rule out the
possibility that banned HuJI may have been supported by
Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) which has been attempting to target tourist
destinations and places of economic interests.
The intelligence agencies have already
started analysing STD and international calls made out of Jaipur during
the last 48 hours.
