Key suspect behind Hyderabad blasts left Bangladesh for West Asia: Police
2007-09-06
(KUNA) -- The alleged mastermind behind the August 25 twin blasts in Southern Indian city of Hyderabad -- Bilal -- is reported to have left Bangladesh for West Asia.
"Curly toed slippers with traces of powder burns and smelling faintly of TATP, don't fail me now!"
Before leaving Dhaka on August 26, Bilal spoke to one of his close associates in Hyderabad, which the city police have gathered in the course of their investigations. Bilal was accompanied by his wife, a widow from Bangladesh whom he married in recent past, India's leading English Daily 'The Times of India' reported Wednesday, quoting sources in the Hyderabad police.

The investigators have found out Southern Indian state of Karnataka was used by Bilal as a base for their terror operations. RDX was pushed into Andhra Pradesh from neighbouring Karnataka. Hyderabad is the capital of Southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. The blasts had killed 44 people and injured 100. Hyderabad Police is also confident that Bilal was behind the blast in Bangalore's Indian Institute of Science which killed a professor, the Times reported. Bangalore is the capital of Karnataka.

The police said that two of the four guerrillas who carried out the twin blasts on August 25 were still in Hyderabad and plan to trigger more explosions. The 10 kg of RDX explosive that was smuggled into the city earlier in February has been distributed among terror modules for future operations. This was revealed by Syed Imran Khan, an arrested bank executive, during the truth-serum tests in Bangalore on Tuesday, the Times reported. All the four reportedly came from Pakistan to carry out the twin blasts.

The information about Imran came from another guerrilla called Sheikh Abdul Nayeem, alias Sameer. It was Sameer who smuggled RDX into the city in February this year on orders of Billal. Meanwhile, Bangladesh Wednesday denied any arrests in the country in connection with the Hyderabad blasts and said it has not received any request from India for information on the Hyderabad bombings. "Bangladesh is yet to receive any request for information in connection with the Hyderabad blasts and there have been no arrests in Bangladesh in this connection," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement at Dhaka today, news agency Press Trust of India reported.
