At Least Four Killed In Indian Mosque Bomb Blast

Hyderabad MP demands action against 'anti-Muslim' cops
India Gazette
Saturday 19th May, 2007
(IANS)
The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), a powerful political party with a large Muslim following, Saturday demanded action against the policemen responsible for firing on the protestors after Friday's bomb blast at the historic Mecca Masjid here.
'The police firing was a double tragedy for Hyderabad. Even before Muslims could recover from the shock of the devastating blast during Friday prayers police killed innocent youths by firing indiscriminately,' said MIM leader and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi.
Police said 11 people were killed in the blast while six died in the police firing. Police had remained tight-lipped about deaths in police firing late Friday night and confirmed it only Saturday even as the chief minister apologised for the firing.
Owaisi warned police against 'stereotype investigation' by linking Bangladesh or Pakistan with the crime.
He also found fault with some police officials linking the blast at the historic mosque near Charminar to the one at the Police Commissioner's Task Force office in 2005 even before the preliminary investigations were completed.
Demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into both the blast and the police firing, he said any investigation should be conducted with open mind.
'The CBI inquiry is necessary into the blast and the police firing to assuage the feelings of the people and take them into confidence,' he told newsmen.
Earlier, Owaisi voiced his anger when Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil visited the blast site. He said the policemen opened fire on panic-stricken people without any provocation.
'In a situation like this police should have acted with restrain but they opened fire without first using canes, water canons or rubber bullets,' he said.
The parliamentarian sought immediate suspension of two senior police officials for the 'excessive use of force' and their 'hatred' towards the Muslim community.
Owaisi, whose party is an ally of the ruling Congress party, said there could be no impartial probe unless such officials were removed.
The MIM leader said there were similarities between blasts in Malegaon in Maharashtra last year and those in Hyderabad Friday and alleged that Hindu extremists were responsible for both attacks.
He said the same forces were responsible for blasts at Nanded, Prabhani and Jalna towns in Maharashtra but no action was taken against them.
MIM has its domination in the Muslim-majority old city with all five assembly constituencies in the area held by it. The party Friday announced compensation of Rs.100,000 to the kin of those killed in the blasts and the police firing.

1.You attack the police, at a site of bomb blast, you can expect to get shot. So dont do it next time, Let them do their work
2.The Chief of Police of Andhra Pradesh is a Muslim, Look at the start of this thread.
They must have done it themselves, they already have cited Harkut ul Mujhadeen as a possible suspect. They have shown the pictures of the two defused bombs, no crude stuff by any means.

Fresh clashes in Indian city after mosque blast
(Reuters)
19 May 2007
HYDERABAD, India - At least two policemen were injured on Saturday when a mob pelted them with stones after a burial of victims from a mosque explosion and ensuing violent clashes in the Indian city of Hyderabad.
Eleven people died in the explosion which took place during Friday prayers at the sprawling 17th-century Mecca Masjid.
Police later shot dead five people in clashes with hundreds of enraged Muslims who went on a rampage to protest against the attack.
Hundreds of people were returning on Saturday after burying the dead when they started stoning the police, who had escorted them to the burial ground. Police fired eight rounds in the air and also used teargas to disperse the mob.
âBeat the police,â âAllah is greatâ, the protesters chanted.
Elsewhere in the city, an uneasy calm prevailed, streets were deserted and businesses shut in response to a strike call given by a popular Muslim group in protest over the bomb blast.
Thousands of police patrolled the streets of the historic city to avert religious clashes, the biggest fear of authorities after Fridayâs attack.
Police said on Saturday the bomb appeared to be the work of âterroristsâ but gave no details.
Two explosions struck mosques last year -- one in Malegaon in western India that killed 32 people, and another at the Jama Masjid in New Delhi.
Investigating agencies and analysts have said members of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) could have been behind these blasts in coordination with Pakistan-based militant groups.
The aim, they say, is to trigger communal clashes in India which, while more than 80 percent Hindu, has the worldâs third biggest Muslim population after Indonesia and Pakistan.
âOne of the things which appears to have been done at many places in the country is to attack religious places so that bad blood develops between different communities,â Home Minister Shivraj Patil told reporters on a visit to Hyderabad.
Patil said an alert has been sounded at places of worship in other prominent cities of the country.
Ajai Sahni, executive director of the New Delhi-based Institute for Conflict Management, said it was likely groups responsible for last yearâs blasts were behind this one too.
âAt this juncture, there is nothing to suggest there is any deviation from past incidents,â he said.
âConsequently, we will have to assume it is the same groups which were responsible for Malegaon and Jama Masjid. The objective remains the same -- to create suspicion that the attack was by Hindus and create a Hindu-Muslim polarisation and violence.â
Police fanned out in Muslim-dominated quarters of the city to prevent a repeat of the riots that unfolded after the blast, when the estimated 8,000 worshippers in the mosque poured out and attacked anything that came their way.

Again see you are only bothered about the Muslims killed. You only value those lives. You only have an issue when the Muslims are killed. Otherwise why would you astill continue harping about the same muslim killing again and again.
There were bombings in varanasi temple, the most holiest temple for the hindues, there were bombings in akshardam temple, there were bombings during the hindu festival of diwali. Did you see rioting??? Well you bomb A mosque and you get that.
Thats why they have been consistantly losing power in India.

Its no point speaking to them. They only have one thing to say and that is Muslims lost their lives in Gujarat in 2002. You admit it or not they shall continue to say that.

Yes, why not ?
Gujarat contributes almost 20% to our national industrial output. Buggers are great businessmen with strong ties to my town down south, particularly with the foundry related industries like pump making. I've met a lot of Gujju's and they're perhaps one of the nicest people I've come across.
They're still the fastest growing state in our country Thats an outright straight-at-your-face you're-nothing-but-a-dog-barking-at-an-elephant resounding slap to only-my-god-is-good-and-true chest thumping religious bigots and forces that have sought to disturb the development and prosperity of Gujarat.
Oh BTW them people have to use a little less sugar in their foods. Its on the higher side even for a person who loves sweets. Not finding Gujju wimmen very attractive though. My Amdebadi friend says I should visit a Navratri. Thats how he found his girl.

Cellphone provides lead in Indian mosque blast
(AFP)
21 May 2007
KOLKATA, India - A shopkeeper has provided a photograph of the man who allegedly bought the subscriber data card that was in a phone found at the site of deadly mosque blast in southern India, police said on Monday.
The phone was part of the trigger mechanism in one of two explosive devices that police defused after a bomb killed nine people at the 17th-century Mecca Mosque in the city of Hyderabad as thousands offered prayers there Friday.
Officials on Saturday revised the death toll in the blast from 11 to nine.
Five people were also killed after the blast in protests when police opened fire to subdue rioters angered by the attack staged on the Muslim holy day.
The bombing and subsequent clashes between protesters and police in the city, an emerging tech hub and the capital of Andhra Pradesh state, left almost 60 injured.
Information from the slightly damaged but still verifiable subscriber identity module (SIM) card led police Sunday to a cellular phone shop in West Bengal state in eastern India.
Mohammad Shahid, who runs the shop in an eastern district of the state but lives across the border in neighbouring Jharkhand, confirmed selling the card in June and provided a photograph of the alleged purchaser, police said.
âThe buyer had submitted photocopies of a driving license issued in the name of Babulal Yadav. We are in the process of verifying the document,â said Jharkhand police officer Kanklata Lakra.
âThe police have also seized his shopâs sale register, which has the photograph of the SIM card buyer.â
Shahid is in the West Bengal state capital for further questioning.
âShahid has now been taken to Kolkata where sleuths from West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh are interrogating him. He will be released soon,â said another Jharkhand police official, Rajaram Prasad.
Police sources said they hoped to make more progress by tracing calls made and received from the mobile phone containing the SIM card.
In a separate development, the West Bengal police chief said that two bombs had been found Monday on a crowded train headed for a major Hindu pilgrimage site.
âThe bombs were found in a crowded compartment of a local train in Howrah station,â Raj Kanojia told AFP.
He said police were in the process of defusing what were described as âcrudeâ devices. The train was bound for Tarakeshwar, the site of a popular Hindu temple.
At least five serious attacks have been staged on religious sites in India since early last year.
In two of the worst, September blasts at a mosque in Malegaon town in western India left 31 dead, while bombs planted at a temple in the Hindu pilgrimage city of Varanasi last March killed 23.
