HuJi ACTIVIST IS KEY SUSPECT OF HYDERABAD BLASTS

Harkat-ul-Jehad-i-Islami (HuJi) activist Mohammed Abdul Sahed alias Bilal, wanted for the blasts on the Samjhauta Express, is believed to be a key suspect in Saturday night's twin attacks in Hyderabad, official sources said.

They said yesterday's blasts were quite similar to that of Mecca mosque explosions in Hyderabad in May this year in which Bilal is suspected to be the mastermind.

Sources said that the two blasts were triggered suspectedly by a mobile phone, a modus operandi used in the Mecca masjid explosions.

The sources said that some of the sleeper cells of Jaish-e-Mohammed could also have been used by the HuJi, as both the militant outfits follow the Deobandi sect of Islam.

Bilal, who took over the command of HuJu on October 12, 2005, has been on the list of most wanted terrorists after he masterminded a suicide attack on the Special Task Force's headquarters in Hyderabad that left one police personnel dead.

Bilal, who is believed to be in Karachi, is also wanted for the blasts on the Samjauta Express in February that left 68 people dead.

An associate of Rasool Khan "Party", a Gujarat resident, Bilal, has been instrumental in sending youths for arms training to Pakistan through Dhaka and some Gulf states, sources said.

The CBI has already procured a red-corner notice from interpol against Shahid
