Timers bought from Guwahati

By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, July 23 � The timers used to trigger explosions in Bodh Gaya were bought from a shop in Guwahati and were manufactured in Gujarat, investigators have found, reports PTI.

Sources said sleuths of the National Investigation Agency, which is probing the July 7 blasts in one of the most sacred Buddhist sites, have found that clocks attached with the unexploded bombs were manufactured in a plant in Rajkot, Gujarat.

The entire lot of the clocks was sent to Guwahati and a few of the clocks were bought from a shop there, they said.

The sources, however, said involvement of local hands cannot be ignored as the cylinders tied with the bombs were most probably procured locally in Bihar.

Investigators got enough indications that people with Mongoloid features could be involved in carrying out the explosions, the sources said, hinting that involvement of Myanmar�s Rohingiya Muslims cannot be ruled out.

There were reports that the multiple blasts were reaction to the alleged violence against minorities in Myanmar�s Rakhine province.
