Hyd blasts: Centre had warned of terror strikes

February 21, 2013 21:10

Mohammed Siddique reports from Hyderabad: Intelligence officials in Hyderabad said that the bombs were triggered through timer devices and kept on two wheelers -- one on a bicycle.

Large crowds had gathered at the blast sites as well as the four hospitals where the injured have been admitted. Ten bodies have been brought to Osmania Hospital and anxious relatives were going around to find out the well being of their missing members.

Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, after visiting the scenes of the blast, has ordered a high level probe in to the incident. What has added to his woes was that the central government and the intelligence agencies had given a warning to all the states about possible terrorist attacks in retaliation to the recent hanging of Afzal Guru in 2001 Parliament attack case.
