I suspected it yesterday, and the follow-ups simply confirm it.
No mention of the unexploded bombs.
"Authorities also found explosives at 16 other locations in and near the city... Early Sunday those unexploded devices were sent to forensic labs for examination, police sources said."
Hmmmmmm!!!
"India Blames Islamic Militants for Blasts" by the Associated Press August 27, 2007
HYDERABAD, India, Aug. 26 (AP) — Indian officials said Sunday that Islamic militants based in Pakistan and Bangladesh were responsible for twin bombings that killed at least 42 people in Hyderabad on Saturday.
Officials said extremists wanted to foment tension between India’s Hindu majority and its Muslim minority, though they provided little evidence linking Islamic militants to the blasts in Hyderabad. Many Muslims here say Hindu extremists are behind the attacks.
Y. S. R. Reddy, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh State, of which Hyderabad is the capital, told reporters after an emergency state cabinet meeting on Sunday:
“Available information points to the involvement of terrorist organizations based in Bangladesh and Pakistan.”
Mr. Reddy did not identify the groups or provide proof, saying “it is not possible to divulge all this information.”
[Yeah, these governments, they NEVER have proof -- probably because it would expose THEIR AGENTS!!]
A top government official said India was struggling to stop terrorist attacks.
Shivraj Patil, India’s home minister: “Our country is so big that even if we have the information that something is planned, we do not know where or when.”
[But you knew where to find 16 unexploded bombs, huh?
This is starting to STINK LIKE AN INSIDE JOB, folks!]
He did not say if the authorities had advance warning of the blasts, which went off nearly simultaneously at an outdoor auditorium in a park and at a popular restaurant.
Indian news media reports, quoting unidentified security officials, said the group Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, based in Bangladesh, was behind the attacks. The group, which wants to establish Islamic rule in Bangladesh, has been known to attack non-Bangladeshi targets, including Western diplomats.
Bangladesh condemned the bombings and rejected the allegation that Bangladeshi groups were involved.
Pakistan also reacted angrily to Mr. Reddy’s comments, characterizing them as an “irresponsible” reaction.
Tasnim Aslam, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman:
“They have been making these allegations, and nothing ever came out of those allegations — and yet they continue maligning Pakistan. Only the Indians have this kind of some supernatural powers that as soon as some terrorist act takes place they know how it happened and who is responsible.”
[The Americans have the power, too!
We fingered bin Laden after an hour on September 11, 2001]
Indian officials have said other bombings over the past two years have been conducted by Lashkar-e-Taiba, or Army of the Pure, a militant Islamic group based in Pakistan that has fought Indian forces in Indian-administered Kashmir, a predominantly Muslim area."
[So this must have been them!]
