Not so fast. Stratfor has no need for finidng the truth. I find it quite fascile that they blame Hindus.
Malegoan has population of 8 lakhs with 60% Muslim. The people are descendents of Biharis and UP muslims migrants from 1857. So are probably Deoband/Barelvi types. Malegoan is a hot bed of activity. So how can Hindus wander in and set off blasts in retaliation for Varanasi? The Stratfor guy is smoking dope.
There are also political issues as the local MLA is a Congresswala who defeated a JD(S) guy. Could have local politics also.
Further it could be a intra Sunni attack like in TSP Karachi.
