Indian police look for Hyderabad blast suspect shown in video
NEW DELHI, Feb 23, 2013 (Xinhua via COMTEX) --
Indian police are looking for a
suspect in the Thursday Hyderabad blasts, after finding a man in
his early 30's seen reaching the place of explosions in a closed
circuit television camera video shot near the spot at that time,
reported local media.
At last 16 were killed and over 110 injured in the twin blasts
in downtown Hyderabad's crowded Dilsukhnagar commercial area.
A man believed to be in his early thirties was seen reaching
the place on a bicycle with a bag hung to its carrier a few
minutes before the blasts, Indo-Asian News Service quoted police
as saying.
He was seen reaching the area at 18:38 p.m., 10 minutes before
the first blast at Anand Tiffin Center in front of Konark theater
at the site of the explosion. The second blast took place at 19:01
p.m. a few meters away. The bombs at both the places were planted
on old bicycles, according to the report.
The surveillance camera installed in front of Dilsukhnagar bus
station captured the image of the suspect. However, his face is
not clearly visible.
The police Friday announced reward from 10,000 to 40,000 U.S.
dollars for anyone providing information about the suspect.
Local media said police believed the blasts were the work of
militant group Indian Mujahideen, which was held responsible for a
series of terrorist attacks in the past across the country,
including the 2010 attack against a German bakery in the western
Indian city Pune.
