A Kashmir news agency, CNS, said that it got a call from a unknown group calling itself Lashkar-e-Kahab to claim responsibility for the Varanasi bombing. The caller threatened more incidents if the Government does not halt its policy of “catch and kill” when pursuing terrorists. The Uttar Pradesh (UP) police, that was overseeing the marriage of Chief Minister Maulayam Singh Yadav’s niece when the incident took place, released sketches of two suspects that they claim is “95% accurate.” Police officials said that they were working closely with counterparts in Jammu & Kashmir and were looking into calls made to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. They also claimed that they had very good leads but could not share it as that would compromise the investigation. Eyewitnesses say that the two suspects appeared to be from Kashmir and spoke like they were traders from Delhi or Western UP. Reports say that Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) modules get trained in Bangladesh and infiltrate West Bengal through to Uttar Pradesh. Meanwhile, there are reports that the two suspects must have had local support and police is looking out for 3-5 more accomplices and electronic fund transfers. The criminals also bought 5 pressure cookers and three of them were detonated; police are on the lookout for the missing 2. Bomb experts say that pressure cookers are apt equipment for crude bombs with small explosion but large impact as it holds heat well and when it explodes disposes a lot of shrapnel. Besides, unlike steel drums, pressure cookers have valve holes on the top that allows the terrorist to link up the bomb to the detonator easily.
