Timers in bombs used in Bodhgaya terror attack were made in Gujarat, say NIA ... - India Today

The timers used in improvised explosive devices (IEDs), some of which were recovered from Bodhgaya's Mahabodhi Temple earlier this month, were made in Gujarat's Rajkot district, National Investigation Agency (NIA) sources said on Tuesday.

After examining the unexploded bombs recovered from the famous Buddhist shrine after blasts on July 7 the NIA has established the Gujarat link to the terror attack.

However, sources said that though the clocks were manufactured in Gujarat, apparently the lot used in the terror attack was sold in Guwahati.

Sources also said that any local terrorist's involvement could not be ruled out because the cylinders used in making the IEDs were probably procured locally.

The investigators were suspecting the perpetration team to be a mix of local and foreigner terrorists, most likely from Myanmar or Bangladesh. Moreover, the prime suspect in the case, whose sketch was released earlier, has Mongolian features.

The NIA teams have been searching for more clues in Assam, Arunanchal Pradesh and Nagaland in connection with the case.
