New Delhi:
Investigating agencies have identified the two-wheeler in which
one of the bombs of Wednesday's Mumbai serial blasts had been
planted, Home Secretary R.K. Singh said Friday. Eleven CDs of CCTV
footage were also being scanned for clues into the serial
bombings, he added.
The country's top security official said cyber experts were
tracing the origins of an e-mail that may give the investigators a
clue about the bombings Wednesday evening that killed 17 people
and left 131 injured.
"We have identified the scooter in which one of the bombs was
planted," Singh said on the sidelines of a function here.
Asked if the investigators had any definite lead, the home
secretary said several suspects were being questioned because of
their "previous known linkages" with terrorists.
"There are various leads based on our previous databases, various
people are being questioned, so investigation is going on," he
said.
He was asked if investigators had traced any cross-border links to
the triple bombings. The home secretary said: "We have an e-mail
which originated elsewhere. It is being followed up."
About the CCTV footage for clues into the bombings, Singh said:
"There are about 11 CDs (of CCTV footage) which have to be gone
through. It's voluminous work."
"Now, we have all the people and the faces appeared. They have to
be recognised to see whether they are locals or outsiders. That
process is on. People who are not recognised have to be put
through a data base... the suspicious people are being verified."
