Mumbai blasts: Investigators find 'some leads'
Wednesday, July 12 2006 18:45 Hrs (IST) - World Time -

Mumbai: Life in the country's commercial capital today (July 12, 2006) bounced back to normal a day after a series of blasts ripped through suburban trains, killing 190 people, as investigators said they had found 'some leads' and did not rule out the Lashker-e-Taiba's involvement in the terrorist attacks.

Train services resumed and schools and colleges were open. The railway stations that were the scene of yesterday's attacks, which left over 600 people injured, were bustling with commuters.

As Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra remained on red alert and tight security prevailed at airport and railway stations, offices and commercial establishments including banks and the stock market functioned as usual.

Unfazed by the death and destruction caused by the bombings, suburban trains were packed with commuters during the morning rush hour as thousands of people made their way to their workplaces.

Both Union Home Secretary V K Duggal and Maharashtra Police chief P S Pasricha said 'some leads' had been found in the probe into the seven blasts in thetrains. They did not give details.

"We have leads about the Mumbai blasts but no arrests have been made," Duggal told reporters in Delhi.

"We are confident of getting to the culprits very soon," he said.

In Mumbai, Pasricha said, "Taking into account the modus operandi of the blasts, it is possible that the Lashker-e- Taiba could be involved in the terrorist act."

However, he said it would be 'too premature' to say with certainty that the LeT was involved.

"We are getting our own leads, while the Intelligence Bureau is giving us some information," he said.
