In fact there was movement following the Kasab hanging, but it appears that the blasts were carried out to time it with the Afzal hanging.

[size=4][b]20:33 PM[/b][color=#000000][font=arial] [/font][/color][b]HuJI-linked local module behind Hyd twin blasts:[/b][color=#000000][font=arial] [/font][/color][/size][color=#000000][font=arial][size=3]
[size=4][b]Vicky Nanjappa[/b] reports: The twin blasts at Hyderabad today point towards the existence of a local module which is very much active in the city. The modus operandi points towards a similar operation that was used during the Lumbini Park and Gokul Chat attacks. There has been very high surveillance in the Old city of Hyderabad since a very long time and the police confirm that there are many disgruntled elements in this area who are capable of carrying out such attacks.[/size][/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=arial][size=3]
[size=4]This part of the city has always volatile and there has been a lot of disgruntlement after the investigations into the Mecca Masjid blasts. At the moment both the police and the IB are sticking to the version that it could be a local module attached to the Harkat-ul-Juhadi Islami behind this attack.[/size][/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=arial][size=3]
[size=4]This was the same module which was behind the twin blasts that rocked the city five years back. If one looks at the terror modules in Hyderabad it has a stronger network of the HuJI when compared to the Indian Mujahideen. The police will now revisit the HuJi modules and also the investigation files into the previous cases to join the dots in this case.[/size][/size][/font][/color]
