| 'No such thing as Indian Mujahideen' |
| 2008-08-03 |
| The government feels that the "Indian Mujahideen" is clearly a cover for anti-India terror tanzims but agrees that recent attacks on Bangalore and Ahmedabad, as well as the failed bombings in Surat, indicated "local support" for jihadi organisations suspected to be behind the outrages. "There is no such thing as Indian Mujahideen," said top sources in Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's Colombo-bound delegation. While investigators were working on a "few leads" and were as yet not in a position to pin-point the authorship of the blasts, the usual suspects in terms of groups operating outside India were very much in the frame. At the same time, the scale of the attacks clearly showed that there was "an organisation in India with the capacity" to carry out the strikes. This could not have happened without the active involvement of in-house collaborators even though the plot itself could have been hatched by elements based on foreign soil. |
