Bomb Blasts In India - 1

[Guest]

<b>Jaipur blast suspects spoke Bengali, bought cycles without bargaining </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The men suspected to be behind Tuesday's serial blasts that killed at least 61 people and injured 216 had made their most significant purchases from seven bicycle shops in the walled city area without attempting to bargain and spoke Bengali, police sources said.

Ten bicycles were used for the serial bombings - nine were brand new and the last one, which has left security officials in a tizzy, was a used one.

"All cycles were purchased a day before and on the blast day. They went to each shop twice in two days. On the first day they went to check the various cycle models and next day the suspects went to the same shops to purchase the cycles," a police official told IANS on condition of anonymity.

The men were dressed in blue jeans and white shirts, the shopkeepers had told the police.

"The men did not see any of the owners and only dealt with their employees. They paid whatever money was asked for the bicycles without bargaining and hesitation and went away immediately.

"The employees have told us that they did not look like Rajasthanis and spoke in broken Hindi. In fact they were speaking Bengali, which has again given rise to speculation that the militants were from a Bangladeshi outfit," the official added
