Death toll climbs to 19 in Mumbai triple bombings
2011-07-17
[Dawn] The corpse count from this week's bombings in Mumbai rose to 19 as Mumbai police continued Saturday to systematically sift through the evidence gathered from the site of the three blasts.

A police official said teams of Sherlocks had fanned out to at least three different cities in the country to probe the existence of terrorist outfits that may have links to the bombings.

The corpse count in the blasts climbed to 19 when two injured men pegged out, another police official said Saturday.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media.

More than 100 people were still in hospitals in Mumbai being treated for wounds sustained when the bombs went off Wednesday evening.

No group has grabbed credit for the bombings, and Sherlocks have not named any suspects.

The teams of Sherlocks were questioning suspected members of krazed killer organizations in the southern cities of Bangalore and Hyderabad and the eastern city of Ranchi, one of the police officials said.

Investigators say the attack bore the hallmarks of the Indian Mujahideen,
A locally recruited auxilliary of Pakistain's Lashkar-e-Taiba, designed to give a domestic patina to Pakistain's terror war against its bigger neighbor...
a krazed killer group linked to Lashkar-i-Taiba that has claimed past terrorist attacks that used similar explosives.

The blasts were the deadliest terrorist attack in Mumbai since a 2008 siege in which 166 people were killed in an assault that lasted three days.
