Even as the investigations of July 25 Bangalore serial blasts continue for the second day, with another live bomb defused this morning near a city Mall, terrorists have struck Ahmadabad, capital city of Western Indian State of Gujarat with more than 17 low to medium intensity bomb blasts. On July 26 evening, within a span of one hour, explosions have occurred at Maninagar, Isanpur, Narol, Bapunagar, Hatkeshwar, Sarkej and Odhav. Unconfirmed reports said there were 20 blasts. Even there were blasts front of Civil Hospital’s trauma center, perhaps with a suicide bomb. TV footage showed mangled remains of cycles, motorbikes and a blood splattered passenger Bus and signs of gelatin rod and wires. As per the latest reports, 29 people have been killed so far and over 150 others sustained sever to minor injuries.
Meanwhile, the Indian Mujahedeen has claimed responsibility for latest Ahmadabad serial blasts. The syncronised blasts were preceded by an email threat underscoring: "The INDIAN MUJAHIDEEN. strike again! - Do whatever you can, within 5 minutes from now, feel the terror of Death!"
Some of the bombs were believed to have been placed in bicycles and Tiffin boxes, quite similar to Jaipur and Uttar Pradesh blasts. This is third in the series of terror attacks claimed IM, following serial blasts in Jaipur in May 13 this year and in three towns of Uttar Pradesh in November last year. There is little doubt that IM is trying to mislead the investigating agencies and trying to portray that India is experiencing a homegrown terrorism, not sponsored by any external agencies or outfit. It’s obvious that IM is a deadly cocktail of Harkat- Lashkar-SIMI foot soldiers.
