Patna:
When the National Investigation Agency or NIA raided a small hotel in Ranchi, they were hoping to find 24-year-old old Haider Ali, one of the main suspects in last month's Patna blasts in which six people were killed and 83 injured.
Haider Ali has escaped by the time investigators reached the privately-run hotel. What they found instead were 27 live bombs and the detailed chart that listed the men who allegedly planted a total of 13 bombs in the pilgrimage town of Bodh Gaya in July in which two monks were injured.
Investigators say that the chart with its matrix of names proves that the Patna and Bodh Gaya terror attacks were conducted by the newly-formed Ranchi branch of the terror group Indian Mujahideen.
Among the bombers in both cities, say investigators, are Imtiaz Ansari who was caught while trying to escape from the Patna railway station where the first bomb exploded just hours before BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally.
Documents reveal Imtiaz had planted bombs near the Thai Monastery in Bodh Gaya. His other accomplice Ainul alias Tarique, who was injured while planting bombs at the Patna station and later died, had planted bombs at the Targhar Monastery.
Moozib, who was staying in the hotel room which was raided yesterday, had planted bombs in four places in Bodh Gaya.
The NIA says the document found yesterday also lists senior Haider Ali as a senior Indian Mujahideen commander and Tehseen Akhtar who was reportedly running the group since its leader Yasin Bhatkal was arrested in Bihar in August.
