NSG experts to assist probe into Srinagar car bomb blast

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The Centre has rushed NSG (National Security Guards) and forensic experts to Srinagar to assist the security forces in probing Wednesday's car bomb blast there, in which three Army personnel and two civilians were killed.

Special Secretary (Internal Security) in the Home Ministry Anil Chowdhary said here that reports indicated that militants rammed an explosives-laden car into an Army jeep. Details were being collected to confirm the Hizbul Mujahideen's claims about the blast, the sixth such incident over the past two months.

On the rise in car bomb attacks in the Kashmir Valley, he said militants were desperate to make their presence felt. The police were instructed to step up searches of vehicles moving in or out of VIP areas in Srinagar.

Mr. Chowdhary said militants were increasingly resorting to grenade attacks and car bombs to inflict maximum damage and get publicity as well. Terrorists were gaining expertise in setting up car bombs.
