'Hyderabadi terrorists' prepared bombs found in Surat: intelligence

Hyderabad, Jul 30 (UNI) The 'live bombs' found in Surat after the Ahmedabad serial blasts were prepared by a trained terrorists hailing from Hyderabad with the assistance of sympathisers, who were moving around the country to attract the youth towards terrorist activities since last year, according to intelligence sources.

The initial investigation in the Ahmedabad and Bangalore serial blasts and live bombs traced in Surat, has revealed that the explosives used in the bombs and the technology adopted to blast them off matched closely with the information given by the terrorists arrested in connection with the twin blasts in Hyderabad last year, the sources said.

They added that the youngsters recruited by the terrorist outfits like Harkat Ul Jihadi Islami (HUJI) and SIMI from Hyderabad, were active in resorting to violent activities by triggering blasts in the country.

''Most of them were not residing in the city since the twin blasts rocked the Pearl city. They used to go to Pakistan and Bangaldesh and come back to the country after finalising the spots to trigger blasts,'' they informed.

''They were well trained in preparing bombs and experts in trasnporting them anywhere in the country without any delay. Bombs found in Surat in different parts of the city has also raised several doubts including the sleeper cells from Hyderabad which migrated to Surat on the day the blasts took place in Bangalore.

''It would be varified by interrogating the arrested terrorists who were lodged in the jails in the city. The narco analysis test, conducted on Raziuddin Naser, Nayeem and others, results would be reviewed again to clarify the doubts'', sources added.
