  • According to preliminary forensic investigations, the bomb contained rusted ball bearings, iron pellets and balls, and broken, sharp pieces of metal sheets. “About 2-3 kg of explosives seem to have been used,” said state forensic expert Dhananjay Mohite who inspected the scene of the incident.

    Police also said that the number plate of the motorbike belonged to a vehicle which had been sold two years back, the engine and the main frame were from different vehicles. This, experts believed, may have been done to prevent police from tracing the chassis number of the vehicle.

    hindu or muslimBy: ardhendu | 01-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward this very important, cannot it be possible that muslim terrorist scould have done boththese blasts to fuel rioting anddisturb the communal harmony of thecountry.

    Dangerous reportingBy: shikha | 01-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward when ever there happens anything wrong in muslim majority area they come on road to protest and start rioting even against police officials for not taking action against the culprits, but the same muslims offer their full support to defend the terrorist if the blasts kills others in areas which is not marked as muslim areas.

Police should look for technically able fellows who did the blasts.
    Communalized mediaBy: Madhukar | 01-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward How come the religious identity of terrorism victims matters to the media only when it is Muslim? I did not see Indian Express report that those killed in Delhi blasts were "mostly Hindu".

We seem to be helpless in our war on terror partly because those whose responsibility it is to neutralise the disruptive forces are either afraid or unwilling to take the required initiative. The frightenining speed with which the menace of terrorism is striking roots in mainland India leaves no one in doubt that the situation is heading for a disastrous culmination.
