A little know group named Guru-al-Hindi today (May 14) claimed responsibility for the Jaipur blasts. Claiming their hand behind the blast, the group has sent pictures of the blasts site, that they claim, were taken moments before the blast in Jaipur.
Guru-al-Hind sent the pictures through e-mails [ E-mail ID= guru_alhindi_jaipur@yahoo.co.uk] to various media organisations including my company Star News. However, the authenticity of the pictures and the group is yet to be confirmed. The sources in the Intelligence Bureau said that they are examining the pictures and authenticity of the claim made by this little known group.
The picture sent by the group shows, what they claim are bombs in blue bags, atop carriers of brand new bicycles.
Incidentaly, Guru-al-Hind was the group that was behind the Malegaon blasts that took place on September 8, 2006.
The authenticity of pictures is not yet proven and we (indian journalists) does not vouch for the authenticity of the pictures.
Seven bombs ripped through the walled city of Jaipur, killing 75 people and injuring over 150 people on Tuesday (May 13).
Experts claim that tuesday evening's blast bore "close resemblance" to similar explosions in a temple in the holy city of Varanasi, the train bombings in the western city of Mumbai and the suburbs of Malegaon in western India over the past two years.
Fingers are pointed towards the banned Bangladeshi outfit Harkat-ul-Jehad-e-Islami. Many believe that the modus operandi of the blasts hold similarites to the other acts of terror carried out by HuJI.
Earlier today, the Jaipur police released a sketch of a suspect believed to have been involved in atleast three out of the seven blasts.
Around 35 killed & more than 100 injured.
Suspicion = HuJI ~since have a home growen support among few minority community.Central Security agencies today (May 14) claimed that Neogel-90, an explosive used for commercial purposes, was used in the last evening's serial blasts in Jaipur despite Rajasthan Police's assertion that one kilogram RDX had been used to carry out the explosions.
Senior officials of the Bomb Data Squad and Central Security agencies said the samples collected so far did not show any traces of deadly RDX but resembled to Neogel-90.
Neogel-90, an ammonium nitrate-based material, were covered with copper plates and it is hazardous when it comes in contact with metals like copper.
Neogel-90 is usually used in the construction of roads.
The use of Neogel-90 in terror attacks might be new to India though there were reports of two isolated seizures of similar explosives in the country and its neighbouring region -- one in Vadakkaenchery in Palakkad district in Kerala on February two, 2005 and another at Kantipur in Nepal in February 2006, when 475 kg was recovered.
Rajasthan Director General of Police AS Gill and Union Minister of State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal were claiming that nearly one kilograms of RDX had been used in one of the blasts.
However, analysts said this was not possible as the magnitude of damage by one kg of RDX could
have been too high.
According to the sources, 90 per cent of the causalities in last night's blasts in Jaipur were caused by the puncturing of vital organs like the skull and heart by metal balls that were packed into the explosive devices.
May 13, being the anniversary of Pokhran-II nuclear tests, there was a talk that militants could have chosen Jaipur as the target as Pokhran was located in this state. On this day in 1998, India conducted its second test two days after shocking the world.
Jaipur blast pattern is similar to Varanasi blasts
Terrorists who targeted Jaipur followed a modus operandi similar to those who attacked this
temple town in March and courts in three UP towns in November last year, indicating that the group behind the blasts is the same, intelligence officials said today (May 14).
Top intelligence officials said that the attackers used cycle bombs in both Varanasi and Jaipur.
The Sankat mochan temple blast in Varanasi took place on a Tuesday evening, when the number of devotees is much higher than on other days and so was the case near a Hanuman temple in Jaipur.
The terrorists bought new cycles, planted explosives in them and placed them at the court complexes in Faizabad, Lucknow and Varanasi last November. Newly bought cycles were also suspected to have been used to set off the blasts in Jaipur.

A nationwide alert was sounded by the Union home ministry on Tuesday night following a series of blasts that rocked Jaipur within a few minutes of each other.
The blasts, which occurred in crowded parts of the Pink City, left several dead and scores injured. Shortly after the blasts, the home ministry issued an advisory to all states asking them to be "extra vigilant" here crowded areas are concerned and ensure that "advantage is not taken of the situation".
Further, the home ministry also rushed a team from the bomb data centre of the National Security Guard (NSG) to the state capital following a request from the state government. The team comprises experts who can identify the nature of explosives used as also the outfits that use various kinds of explosives. A team of home ministry officials was also dispatched to Jaipur.
While Union home ministry Shivraj Patil is learnt to be in touch with his ministry officials, home secretary Madhukar Gupta had spoken to the Rajasthan chief secretary.
A close watch was being kept on the situation in the state, said a ministry official.
While there were reports that the banned outfit Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islamia (HuJI), which is based in Bangladesh, could be behind the terror attacks, there was no official confirmation of its involvement. Union minister of state for home Sriprakash Jaiswal told a television channel that a foreign hand was clearly behind the blasts.
However, he said that a clear picture on which terror group was involved in the blasts would emerge only after some investigation.
HuJi is alleged to have been behind the attacks on a CRPF camp in Rampur on New Year's Eve as well as a series of blasts in Uttar Pradesh.
