Posted on 29th Oct 2022 02:43 pm by rohit kumar

The NIA has made a big disclosure about the car bomb blast outside a temple in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. According to the NIA, the 29-year-old engineer who died in the blast was a suicide bomber.

 

The central probe agency also claimed that the deceased engineer Mubeen had no experience in handling bombs, so no major damage was caused. An eyewitness to the blast had told the police that the car came to a halt in front of the Sangameshwara temple in Kottamedu, Coimbatore, at 4 am, a day before Diwali. The car was suddenly engulfed in flames. Mubeen jumped from the middle of it and fell to the ground. He was badly burnt. Later he died.

The investigating agency says that there were two LPG cylinders in the car. One of them was torn. Had the second one also exploded, the houses on the side of the road leading to the temple could also have been damaged? Sources had said that apart from the remains of explosive material, shrapnel and nails were also found on the spot. They were probably prepared for explosives by filling them in gas cylinders.

 

Radical made in the guise of IS

NIA sources say that the ideology of terrorist organization IS made Mubeen radicalized. However, he did not get full training in terrorism, so he could not handle explosives. He had gathered information from the Internet for the blast.

 

Six arrested so far

Police and NIA have so far arrested six accused in the car cylinder blast case. All of them had ties and sympathies with IS. Based on their interrogation, the probe agency claimed that Mubeen had planned that the suicide bombing would damage the temple and its surrounding buildings within a radius of 50 to 100 meters, but his plot failed.

 

Explosive material carried with cylinders

Mubeen and two of his alleged associates Mohammad Azruddin and K Afsar Khan had kept three steel drums filled with explosive material such as potassium nitrate, aluminum powder, sulfur, charcoal, nails, and pellets in the car along with two LPG cylinders. Evidence of this has been found in CCTV cameras. The video footage shows the movements of Mubeen and his alleged associates before the blast.
