Stuge Posted May 25, 2011 Author Posted May 25, 2011 A low-intensity bomb exploded on Wednesday outside the busy Delhi High Court triggering panic but no one was injured. The explosive, kept in a packet near a car belonging to a lawyer, went off at 1.15 p.m. causing panic, police said. The car caught fire after the explosion. Personnel of the Delhi Police’s Special Cell, anti-terror unit and Bomb Detection and Disposal Unit were immediately rushed to the site along with Fire Brigade. Delhi Police Special Commissioner (Law and Order) Dharmendra Kumar said the blast was caused by a low-intensity explosive in which no one was injured. “It was not a life-threatening blast... It was a small blast... The explosion took place in a small plastic bag,” he said. “The bag was kept outside the car, just near the bonnet,” Kumar said, adding even the car was not damaged by it. He said the type of explosive is unknown and the samples have been sent for forensic examination. http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/article2047744.ece?homepage=true

Stuge Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 So ,bomb didn't went off as expected otherwise it could have been real worse . NEW DELHI: Eight months after striking at Jama Masjid, terror returned to the capital but thankfully failed to leave a lethal impact. A fully-loaded ammonium nitrate bomb went off partially in the parking lot outside the lawyers' canteen at the Delhi High Court on Wednesday afternoon, causing no casualties except three damaged cars. Officials said the bomb, which was powerful enough for an impact range of 70-80 metres, probably malfunctioned in the afternoon heat. It had 2kg of explosive ammonium nitrate, shrapnel and other deadly chemicals aimed at maximizing damage. "It was not a crude bomb. It was a lethal device laden with heavy explosive to cause maximum damage," a police source said. Investigators suspect that the bomber placed the bag at the site minutes before the explosion. The bomb went off around 1.15pm, a few metres away from Gate 7 of the high court premises near the lawyers' canteen at a time when it was teeming with 50 to 60 people. The explosion triggered panic in the complex and the police immediately combed the area for more explosives. National Security Guards (NSG) were called for forensic examination of the explosive. No terrorist outfit claimed responsibility for the blast but agencies are suspect Indian Mujahideen (IM) to be behind it. The outfit had the Delhi High Court on its hit list two years ago and it uses ammonium nitrate in its bombs. "We are trying to ascertain whether it is an explosion. The residue has been sent for forensic analysis," U K Bansal, Secretary (Internal Security) in Union home ministry, said. Bansal said initially an explosive vapour device detector was used to analyze the chemical composition of the explosive but it did not yield results. Later, forensic teams from Delhi and NSG were called in to analyze the substance, he said. "We found nails at the site but there was not much damage. At the moment, we can't say if it was meant to be a high intensity explosion or not. There was minimal damage to the cars and no glass was shattered," Police Commissioner B K Gupta told TOI. "As yet, no agency had claimed responsibility for the incident. No eyewitness has come forward to report having seen any person leave the bag at the site," Gupta added. The bomb, kept in small black rexine bag, was wrapped in a box with a detonator. Acid was probably used to trigger the blast. Sources said bomb was kept near the wall of lawyers' canteen under the right front wheel of a silver Ford Figo car belonging to advocate Rajat Jain. The bomb was probably placed minutes before it went off, experts said. The explosion caused a fire in the Figo's engine. "It was massive. I heard a loud sound and felt the vibration right behind me. There was smoke all over and something white scattered on the glass walls of the canteen," said an eyewitness, Anuj Sharma. The impact was strong enough to scatter traces of ammonium nitrate in a radius of 15-20 metres. Apart from Rajat Jain's car, a Maruti Swift and a Swift Desire were also damaged. Jain, an HC lawyer, was given a clean chit by the police after questioning. "He has nothing to do with the incident," an officer said. After receiving a call around 1.27pm, the Delhi Police brass, including commissioner Gupta and special cell teams, reached the spot. The area was barricaded as forensic experts from CFSL picked up blast material including remains of the black travel bag, polythene, pieces of a box, ammonium nitrate traces, a battery, three blue wires, nails and a detonator. An NSG team reached the spot around 3.45pm after which they also checked the cars using sophisticated gadgets and collected traces of explosive from the spot. Special commissioner of police (law and order) Dharmendra Kumar said, "Nobody was injured in the incident. It was a minor explosion". A case under sections 3 and 4 of the explosives Act has been registered with the special cell and teams have been asked to look for suspects in the case. After the explosion, Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and G S Sistani visited the spot and met the police commissioner, who reportedly told them that a report on the incident will be sent to the court. Delhi Police has also increased security around the court. Times of india
