Mumbai serial blasts were coordinated terror attack: P Chidambaram

Union home minister P Chidambaram said

on Thursday that Wednesday's Mumbai

blasts were coordinated terror attack and

that all groups that are capable of carrying

out such blasts are suspects. The home

minister said that the government did not

have any intelligence inputs about

Wednesday's

blast with central and state agencies.

Ammonium nitrate with timer devices were

used in the IEDs in Mumbai, Chidambaram

said. It was not a remotely triggered blast

and the Dadar blast was a low intensity one,

he added.

He put the death toll at 18 and said that the

number of injured stand at 131 including 23

who are seriously in Wednesday's blasts.

Maharashtra chief minister Prithiviraj Chavan

announced compensation of Rs 5 lakh for

families of blast victims.
