Banglore, Saturday, 26 July: Investigations are underway into the low-intensity serial blasts that rocked Bangalore on Friday afternoon, killing two people and injuring several others.No outfit has yet claimed responsibility for the blasts but sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs say Pakistan-based Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) and the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) could be behind the attack. However, sources in the Bangalore police suspect Bangladesh outfit HuJI’s hand in the blasts, considering the nature of attack.

Some experts said the attack did not appear to be a handiwork of terrorists.

Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa has already ordered a high-level probe into the blasts.

The IT city, meanwhile, is on high alert after yesterday’s attack. Police have beefed up security in areas with high density of population, defence and space establishments, the State Secretariat, the High Court, IT firms, railway stations, the central bus station and the airport.

The Centre on Friday said that it is ready to amend the law to allow the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to provide security cover for the billion dollar Information Technology industry in Bangalore.

“We have decided to provide security to private sector also especially the IT industry in Bangalore. IT sector has come up very well and we are ready to amend the law and provide security to them,” Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil told reporters in New Delhi.

Patil said the Centre was always ready to provide CISF personnel for the IT industry but the law only allowed Public Sector Units (PSUs) to have the benefit of this paramilitary organisation.

The garden city is home to some 1,500 foreign and domestic firms including IT majors like Infosys and Wipro.

A string of nine synchronised low intensity bomb blasts rocked the IT hub during the busy lunch hour Friday, leaving two killed and injuring 12 others spreading terror.
