Mumbai: A day after the deadly Mumbai blasts that killed 17 people and injured 131, intelligence sources have said that the close circuit television (CCTV) footage from Opera House, one of the blasts site, may yield some clue.

Sources have told NDTV that on the CCTV footage, three or four people were seen talking on the phone for over an hour and a half at the same spot. These sources point to the likelihood of sleeper cells of Indian Mujahideen (IM) being activated.

In two of the three bombs, over a kilo of explosives were used. Also, the group behind the strike is smaller than usual and did not communicate on phones or emails - a new strategy to avoid being tracked.

The use of IEDs also hints at a possible IM involvement. The IEDs are their signature explosives. But what fuels the theory is that this blast almost coincides with the fifth anniversary of the 2006 Mumbai train blasts, now linked to the terror group.

1. The Arab News website editorial posits...

..."Possibility of involvement of organized crime syndicate in the blasts cannot be ruled out... It is impossible at present to say who did this... There is, however, the distinct possibility that this has nothing to do with religious divisions but with organized crime hiding behind a mask of militancy... Indian officials, however, will insist in bringing Pakistan into the picture... But all such speculations of any foreign link to the attacks need to be investigated and refuted." Yeah and there's a distinct possibility that it was extraterrestrials intent on sowing divisions between humans as to further befuddle mankind in preparation of their Terran conquest... or some such thing.

that he thinks it's an inside attempt to derail the pending anti-corruption legislation.

4. Using Occam's razor

one does not have to search long for the culprits. Pretty much every single terror attack in India has been instigated and carried out by Pakistani Based/linked militants...often directed/funded by the Pakistani ISI.

There is, however, the distinct possibility that this has nothing to do with religious divisions but with organized crime hiding behind a mask of militancy... Indian officials, however, will insist in bringing Pakistan into the picture

The Arab editorial posting bases this claim on nothing but thin air...without no supporting evidence whatsoever. I guess its in their interest to exonerate Pakistan whenever possible...even when its the obvious culprit.I for one am not surprised...after all Israel and India are now ranked on the same level when it comes to "Kafir's" who should be destroyed; in the books of the terrorists.

The likes of these(editors) were the first to propose other, non-Pakistani actors for the 2008 Mumbai massacre as well...but we all know now that the Pakistani ISI was intimately involved in the previous Mumbai attacks which killed and injured hundreds. Thus going by past evidence I would be extremely surprised if the Pakistani militants were not involved.
