Explosion near Ram temple in Madurai ahead of Advani’s visit

[SajeevJino]

MADURAI:

A low intensity crude bomb exploded near a Ram temple in Madurai in the three hours of Tuesday. The bomb was hidden inside a box attached to a cycle that was parked near the gate of the temple at Anna Nagar in the temple city. Since the explosion occurred around 3 am, no one were injured.

``It was a very low intensity bomb made out of chemicals used in fire crackers. The culprits had used two batteries meant for torch lights and a timer to ignite the bomb,'' said Anna Nagar Assistant commissioner S Velladurai. The blast spread scare among the residents in the locality as they woke up to the noise of the explosion. The police, bomb detection and disposal squad and the forensic experts rushed to the spot and have collected the exploded pieces of the bomb. Police said the cycle was parked near the gate for the past three days. ``The bomb was not intended to cause any damage. The intention of the culprits seems to be to threaten and create panic,'' Velladurai said.

The bomb blast comes in the wake of a two day BJP conference scheduled for May 11 and 12 when key leaders, including L K Advani, are expected to visit Madurai. During the last visit of Advani to Madurai, the police found a powerful pipe bomb planted under a low level bridge at Thirumangalam over which Advani was to pass through as part of his Jan Chetna Yatra. The case is being probed by SIT and the key accused Fakrudeen from Nelpettai is still on the run.

In fact the city has had close brushes with crude bombs several times in the past. Last year, crude bombs were detected on two occasions before they could explode - once in a crowded state-owned bus and another time when a bomb planted inside a dust bin near Mattuthavani bus stand exploded.

True, suspicion usually falls on the people who have a track record of doing such things. But until investigations are complete, nobody will be charged, that's how India works.

And by the way people in hyderabad have a lot of better places to get an education from. And even the madrassas there churn out (relatively) competent people, who can aspire to do better things than this. It's not hyderabadi madrassas that would be suspected, I can assure you. I'm assuming you meant the hyderabad in India.

He meant Hyderabad, daccan, daccan... remember that pakistani terrorist from mumbai hotel kept claiming he's from hyderabad, daccan? There's some kind of fascination there.

I hope the madurai police crack these cases, unless these cases are cracked these brainwashed idiots, whoever they may be, will continue to be a threat.

Where was Osama found, from where kasab and his team came. Which is state is South Asia has been over run by terrorist and cannot even keep its most commercially most important city under order(actually this city is under virtual civil war.) And is the biggest supporter of Taliban and is killing its own people in Baluchistan and FATA. And has terrorist camps in every province and people not just from Pakistan and middle earth but also from Europe and US come to become terrorist or freedom fighters. And its Army has been responsible for genocide which can only be rivalled by Nazis.

This is the reason why most of the time we point the finger to the mighty Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Ahead of Advani's visit ???hmm
Well this may be another case of extreme right wing secular forces working on out of box thoughts,since no one was even injured.
Trying just to gather audience for his oration,though it may sound quite flimsy but it's eventuality can't be altogether ruled out.I think iinvestigateing agencies would look into the case with this angle too.Politics in India is one of the most heinous face our society.They can stoop to any level just to attain their pity objectives.
