LD BLAST 2 LST

The Centre has not ruled out foreign involvement
including a Headley link while some Indian Mujahideen (IM)
operatives at large came under the scanner of security
agencies.
LeT operative and Pakistani-origin American David
Coleman Headley, lodged in a Chicago jail in the US for his
alleged involvement in the 26/11 attacks, had surveyed the
area near the blast site during his trips to Pune last year.
The police commissioner said he had no information as
yet on the device used to trigger the blast.
"I don't know. We have not yet established that,"
Singh said when asked whether the blast was triggered using a
remote-controlled device.
Sources privy to the investigations said information
was being gathered about Mohsin Chaudhury, a Pune resident
with links to IM and who is missing, while trying to ascertain
the role of Pakistan-based terror group Lashker-e-Taiba(LeT)
which has close links with the Indian outfit.
With IM's hand in the bomb blast being increasingly
suspected, Maharashtra's Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) was
planning to question a few jailed IM men to get some leads.
Among those likely to be questioned were Saddiq
Sheikh, believed to be one of the founders of IM, and Mansoor
Peerbhoy. The IM is stated to be an amalgam of former SIMI
cadres and LeT operatives.
Another IM militant Shahzad arrested in connection with
2008 serial blasts in Delhi will also be questioned over the
presence of the terror group's sleeper cells in Maharashtra,
especially in Pune. PTI
