It seems the bomb blast was meant to occur outside the station, i.e en route to Andhra, but since the train was delayed by 1.5 hours, it exploded here.

Comes just after news of an ISI fellow being nabbed yesterday.

It is being stated on TV that an ISI chap was caught on Tuesday and possibly its fallout.

The bomb might triggered by a mobile phone..Two months before IB gave a red alert on possible of terror attack in chennai bangalore and hyderabad.The good thing the train was late otherwise the causality would be high in a moving train.

Since the train arrived in Chennai approximately 1 hour 25 minutes late, the question arises whether the capital city of Tamil Nadu was actually the target. Had the train been on time, the explosion could have taken place near Nellore (Andhra Pradesh), where BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is scheduled to address a rally today

According to reports, police have found the suspect hiding in a compartment of the train. Unconfirmed reports suggest that explosives were strapped to his body. He is currently being questioned in police custody.

Aren't there two threads on Chennai bombing now?

 

[bhramos]

Conspiracy may be or may not

why we always forgot Local JIHADI'S (if u know them they r as CRUEL as TALIBANS )
But i dont think its a ISI work very immature Blasts (small quantity used)

if the same bomb exploded in an running train, it would have caused more victims and causalities..

 

[pmaitra]

Threads merged.

Please check if thread already exists before opening a new thread.

Thanks.

At last now its turned as a matter of Ego or prestige as who to investigate the case. NIA offered help but Tamilnadu chief secretary denied it.So this may affect the investigation and may go into the favor of terrorists, Even though the state police has knowledge, they are lack in the technical equipments(from the video, the forensic peoples collected the sample in the bare hands not even wearing the gloves,If they are not even capable of having hand gloves how can we expect other gadgets) i'm not blaming them its not their fault.Its time to stand unite and fight against them but the rulers playing political drama.
