Premature to name terror group behind blasts: Home ministry

New Delhi: The home ministry Wednesday said it would be premature to name the terrorist group behind the serial blasts in Mumbai that killed at least 10 people and left scores injured.

"It would be premature to name the organisation behind the blasts. It is, however, certain that a terrorist organisation is behind the blast," U.K. Bansal, secretary (Internal Security) in the home ministry, told a news channel.

"All attempts of investigations are on. A Central Forensic Science laboratory (CFSL) team has left for Mumbai, National Investigation Agency (NIA) team is already there with Mumbai Police," Bansal added.

"The information is not complete. We will inform you when the complete information comes," Bansal added.

Three blasts rocked Mumbai Wednesday evening. One took place at Dadar and the others in Zaveri Bazar and Opera House.
