New Delhi:
Home Secretary R.K. Singh Thursday called the serial low-intensity
bomb blasts in Pune in Maharashtra as a planned and coordinated
attack and said investigators were making progress.
"Since the blasts have taken place within an area of 500 metres
and within a span of 45 minutes, it appears to be a coordinated
act. I'm sure there was a plan behind it," Singh told reporters.
He said investigators from key central agencies such as the
National Investigation Agency (NIA), National Security Guard (NSG)
and the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) had reached
Pune early morning for carrying out their probe and had examined
the two unexploded Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
"There are three detonators in each (IED) and other peculiarities.
Investigation is on. We are making progress," he said.
Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde no new update on the Pune serial
blasts investigation was available. He had taken over as the
country's new home minister Wednesday and the Pune blasts took
place within 12 hours of him assuming charge.
