Day after serial blasts, cops clueless as Mumbai seethes MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: Investigators were struggling to find clues to the identity of the perpetrators of Wednesdays serial blasts in Mumbai, raising the scary possibility that the fresh outrage may join the list of unsolved terror cases. Sources familiar with the probe acknowledged that the investigators have not yet found any lead worth mentioning. Although Indian Mujahideen, the ISI-sponsored proxy of Lashkar, is seen as a possible suspect, the evidence is so thin that agencies in Mumbai and New Delhi are wary of sticking their necks out. Wednesdays blasts were similar to the pattern seen in the attacks that were deemed to have been engineered by Indian Mujahideen. The three blasts were set off using improvised explosive devices in crowded areas with a view to maximizing casualties: a signature style of IM terrorists. But there were major departures from the IM modus operandi as well. The attacks have not been followed by electronic pamphlets taking credit for the blasts. Starting with the serial blasts in UP courts in 2007, several terror attacks involving the Mujahideen were followed by emails justifying the killings as acts of courage meant to avenge alleged atrocities on Muslims. Apart from the brazen attempt at communal polarization and to portray the terrorists as saviours of Indian Muslims, the emails were designed to serve another purpose: to keep up the fiction that the anti-India terror was indigenous.
