HuJI may be behind blast

New Delhi, October 12
Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islami (HuJI), a militant outfit of Bangladesh, was suspected to be behind the blast at the sufi shrine of Khwaja Mohiuddin Chisti at Ajmer in which militants used a mixture Tri-Nitro Toluene (TNT) as the explosive material, sources said.

The sleuths of central security agencies, accompanied by forensic experts, found a bag in which another crude bomb had been kept which was possibly intended to go off after the first explosion with an aim to trigger a stampede-like situation at the shrine.

The unexploded device was to be detonated with an alarm of the mobile phone which failed in this case thus saving many lives, sources said. — PTI
