<b>Police puzzled: Why Jama Masjid?</b> <!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Though there are a lot of clues and patterns they would be looking into, the team is said to be working on three crucial leads.
<b>The most important line of investigation is whether the Masjid attack could be a possible retaliation to the Varanasi Sankatmochan temple blasts, that killed 29 people on March 7 this year.
They are also investigating if it could be a handiwork of anti-social elements intending to create disharmony in the communally-sensitive old Delhi area.
The police have also not ruled out the involvement of terror outfits, though the venue of attack remains a puzzle</b>. <!--emo&

It's for the first time in the year - that saw a spurt of attacks on religious places - that a place of minority worship has been attacked.
The pattern of the attack has not made things clear either.
<b>The chemicals used in the attack are low-intensity, low-power explosives, unlike the ones used in the Varanasi blasts.
The coordinated blasts that occurred within four feet of each other did not cause any significant damage to the Masjid structure.</b>
All the 15 injured were rushed to the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital on Friday and are said to be out of danger.

Police is also thinking why terrorist will blast their own place of worship. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
