Sushanta Talukdar

Guwahati: The Assam police have taken into custody three persons in connection with the serial blasts in the State. The cell-phone from which an SMS was sent in the name of the Islamic Security Force (Indian Mujahideen), owning responsibility for the blasts, belonged to one of these three persons. He has been identified as Nazir Ahmed of Moirabari in Morigaon district.

Inspector-General of Police (Law and Order) Bhaskarjyoti Mahanta told reporters on Saturday that car bombs were used in the three blasts in the city.

He said the cars, all Maruti, were packed with RDX and ammonium nitrate.
