India: Culprits 'still hiding in Hyderabad'
2007-09-07
(AKI/Asian Age) - Terrorism suspects Imran Khan and Kaleem, alias Rafiq, have claimed that the perpetrators of last month's deadly blasts in Hyderabad are still present in the city. The twin bombings there on 25 August killed at least 42 people and wounded more than 60, according to police. Khan and Kaleem made this startling revelation while they were subjected to narco-analysis tests in Bangalore over the past two days. Bangalore Forensic Science Laboratory director B.M. Mohan said a narco test was conducted on Kaleem on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Imran, a bank executive, had undergone the test. Imran reportedly admitted that he had stored 10kg of the explosive RDX in his house and passed on to others. RDX, used by the military and industry, can also be used as a component of many plastic bonded explosives used in nuclear weapons.

Kaleem confessed to having provided logistical support and SIM cards to the terror cell. He and Khan two also told forensic experts who conducted the tests that there could be more attacks in Hyderabad. "They spoke about the twin blasts too," said Mohan, adding: "There are many similarities in their separate confessions. We will submit them to the Hyderabad cops." He said experts will decide whether to conduct one more narco test after four days. "I have to check up whether they talked about Shahid or Hamza," he said. "I can tell you that they gave very useful information."

Shahid reportedly heads the Bangladesh module of PakistanÂ’s Inter-Services Intelligence and is in charge of all jihadi activities in south India. He is suspected to be hiding in Riyadh. Kaleem has been in judicial custody for the last two years.

Bangalore police reportedly also want to conduct giggle juice narco analysis tests on Khan and Kaleem to know more about the December 2005 attack on the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore. The second round of tests could take place on Friday or Saturday.
