'Police still clueless about Ayodhya attackers' Thursday, July 7 2005 14:20 Hrs (IST) - World Time -
Ayodhya:
Even after 48 hours of terror attack on the high-security Ram Janambhoomi complex, the investigative agencies have not yet been able to establish the identities of the five slain militants.
"The militants have not yet been identified but we are working on a couple of leads," Senior Superintendent of Police, Faizabad, Avinash Chandra told sources in Ayodhya today (July 7, 2005).
Chandra said that the photographs of the slain militants had been sent to different parts of the country to establish their identity. A team of the Intelligence Bureau headed by an officer of Joint Director rank, is also camping in the temple town to help in the investigation, he added.
A Special Task Force (STF) of the UP Police was also working on the case to help establish the identity of slain militants, he said, adding so far no terrorist outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The interrogation of Raj Kumar, driver of the jeep that the terrorists used to come to Faizabad from Akbarpur, about 70 kms from here, was still on, the SSP said.
The driver of the jeep used in the attack, Rehan, was also being extensively quizzed, Chandra said.
