<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The report also said that keeping in view the similarities between the Delhi and Varanasi blasts, Uttar Pradesh Police would seek the help of Delhi. <b>Terrorists had used ammonium nitrate and RDX in the timer fitted devices for triggering blasts in Paharganj and Sarojini Nagar markets before Diwali by placing the IEDs in crowded places. In Varanasi too, the same mixture of RDX and ammonium nitrate was used to explode the IEDs.</b>
The investigations by STF and the intelligence agencies appear to be on the right track as they have succeeded in identifying those behind the Tuesday blasts in Varanasi, sources added.
<b>STF teams are also looking for five terrorists who were believed to be involved in the Delhi blasts but were never arrested.</b> LeT Commander for Kashmir Operations Abu Alcama was named as one of the key accused of the October 29, 2005 Delhi blasts. As were Sajjad Sulfi and Abu Mansoor, both Pakistani nationals who are yet to be arrested. Investigating agencies are trying to ascertain their movements and that of their cohorts who are said to be holed up in Uttar Pradesh.
<b>Investigating agencies have also picked up three suspects who are believed to have planted the explosives in Varanasi.</b> Simultaneous raids were being conducted across eastern Uttar Pradesh to nab certain key operatives of the banned Students Islamic Movement in India (SIMI) whose names have cropped up during the investigations.
<b>Cadres of SIMI were suspected to be behind the Shramjeevi train blast as also the Delhi serial blasts.</b> It is a well-documented fact that SIMI activists were trained in preparing lethal IEDs by Pak-sponsored terrorist organisations like Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) and Lashkar-e-Tayyebe (LeT). Investigators have reasons to believe that SIMI cadres were involved in providing logistics to the module that planted bombs in the premises of Sankat Mochan mandir and Varanasi railway station. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So this item links Delhi and Varanasi blast to Indian Muslim aka SIMI.
