The Home Ministry has confirmed the involvement
of Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) in the Mumbai blasts.
As per investigations carried out by police,
SIMI provided local logistics for the deadly blasts in Mumbai that claimed
190 lives and left over 600 injured.
The magnitude of the sychronised blasts have
conclusively pointed to the use of RDX by the attackers, official sources
said in New Delhi.
Several modules of LeT and SIMI were busted
and huge amount of explosive materials, including RDX, were recovered during
raids at various places in Aurangabad, Nasik and Nagpur in last two months,
they said.
During investigations, it also came to light
that similar modules of LeT were actively operating in several towns of Maharashtra
besides Hyderabad and Bangalore.
