At least 80 persons were killed and over 150 others wounded when eight serial bomb blasts were triggered at Johari Bazaar, Hanuman temple, Hawa Mahal, Badi Chaupad, Tripolia Bazaar and Chandpole in Jaipur, capital city of Rajasthan, on May 13-evening, according to Times of India. The first blast took place at 7.20pm (IST) in the crowded Johari Bazaar and within 15 minutes seven more blasts occurred in adjoining areas in the walled city area - near the Hanuman Mandir, which was reportedly crowded with devotees, near Hawa Mahal, at Badi Chaupad, Tripolia Bazaar and Chandpole. "We have information that 80 people have died," Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria was quoted by AFP as saying. Earlier, Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje told reporters that 60 people had died and 150 were injured. Meanwhile, Indian Express quoting unofficial sources has put the death toll at 85. Initial reports suggested that the terrorists used vehicles, including a car, cycle rickshaws and auto rickshaws to plant the bombs, which were detonated with remote-controlled devices, The Hindu reported. No one has so far claimed responsibility for the blasts. The Bangladesh-based Harkut-ul-Jehadi Islami (HuJI) is suspected to be behind the blasts, Home Ministry sources said, according to The Hindu. Meanwhile, eight persons have been detained for questioning in connection with the blasts. The eight included a man who was injured in the explosions and a rickshaw puller, police said on May 14. Preliminary examination of the blast site indicated the possibility of ammonium nitrate being planted in new cycles and filled with ball bearings and small iron pipes to act as splinters, sources said.

Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said in Jaipur that the bombs used in the serial blasts contained RDX and ammonium nitrate. "The bombs had ball-bearings which worked like small missiles," she stated. Pointing to the sophisticated nature of the timer devices used to trigger the explosions, she said an international terrorist group could be behind the operation. She, however, did not name any group. The serial blasts in Jaipur were similar to the ones that occurred in Varanasi, Faizabad, Ajmer and Hyderabad in the recent past, the Union Minister of State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal said on May 14. Terrorist organisations which had roots and bases in the neighbouring countries were carrying out attacks in the country, he said "They target crowded areas, market places and religious places,"’ he said on his return to New Delhi from Jaipur. Replying to queries, Jaiswal named Pakistan and Bangladesh where terrorists often took shelter after executing attacks in India.

The Supreme Court on May 14 dismissed the petition filed by Parliament attack case convict Shaukat Hussain Guru challenging his 10 years imprisonment, PTI reported. The apex court held that it did not find any ground to entertain Shaukat’s petition that he was not given the opportunity to defend himself for the offence under section 123 (concealing the conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code. "We do not find any reason to entertain the present petition and grant relief as prayed for by Shaukat," a bench comprising Justices P. P. Naolekar and V. S. Sirpurkar said. Shaukat had contended that he was convicted by the apex court on August 4, 2005, under section 123, the offence for which he was never charged. He had filed the petition after the apex court had dismissed his review and curative petition against the judgment sentencing him to 10‘ years imprisonment.

The Union Government has extended the ban on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) as an unlawful association by two years, reports The Hindu. A notification to this effect was issued on May 14, according to a Home Ministry release. The LTTE, an association based in Sri Lanka, has sympathisers, supporters and agents on Indian soil, the notification said, adding, the group’s objective for a separate homeland for all Tamils threatens the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India. It further said the LTTE continues to be an "extremely potent, most lethal and well organised terrorist force in Sri Lanka and has strong connections in Tamil Nadu and certain other pockets of southern India." The LTTE also continues to use Tamil Nadu as the base for carrying out smuggling of essential items like petrol and diesel besides drugs to Sri Lanka. The LTTE will continue to remain a "strong terrorist movement and stimulate the secessionist sentiment to enhance the support base of the LTTE in Tamil Nadu as long as Sri Lanka continues to remain in a state of ethnic strife, torn by the demand for Tamil Eelam which finds strong echo in Tamil Nadu due to the linguistic, cultural, ethnic and historical affinity between the Sri Lankan Tamils and the Indian Tamils in Sri Lanka," the notification stated.

The ‘Q’ Branch Police in Madurai here on May 18 arrested two Sri Lankan nationals allegedly supplying explosives and electronic gadgets to Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), reports The Hindu. The duo had sent huge quantities of explosives to the LTTE through agents along the Rameswaram coast. Following information, police intercepted a Tata Sumo vehicle near Villapuram and took into custody P. Jayaraja alias Viji alias Vijayan of Mannar and T. Chinnavan alias Padmaraja of Jaffna. They were in possession of 44 walkie-talkie sets and INR 4.59 lakh in cash. K. Senthil of Madurai who provided logistic support to the two was also arrested sources in the intelligence agencies said. Preliminary enquiries revealed that Jayaraja and Chinnavan had entered the country as refugees in 1990 and stayed on in different parts of the State without renewing their registration. They often visited Sri Lanka, mostly LTTE-controlled areas, with the help of clandestine boat operators. Besides supplying about 20,000 detonators, they also provided Global Positioning System devices to Sea Tigers (the sea wing of the LTTE). Operating from Arappalayam in Madurai, their modus operandi was to transport explosives, explosive substances and gadgets through vans and hand them over to agents at Uchupuli. From there, the consignments would be ferried to LTTE camps. Sasi, one of the close associates of Jayaraja, was shot dead by the Sri Lankan Navy in 2007 when he was found venturing into the sea with a consignment, the sources said and added that five cans of resin were seized from Senthil’s house. “They were also smuggling tobacco and beedi bundles. We are trying to establish the source of explosives and supply network of this smuggling module of the LTTE. Special teams are also probing the source of money. It is not clear whether these suspects were involved in the supply of a large explosives consignment seized from a boat at Thangachimadam recently,” an unnamed senior Police official said.

After the first day of talks on May 20, India said the new Pakistani political leadership conveyed a "strong commitment" to carry forward the peace process for the full normalisation of bilateral ties, but External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee also pointed out that progress in the ongoing dialogue was dependent on a terror and violence-free environment, The Hindu reported. "We approach the next round in a spirit of co-operation, trust and pragmatism. This is predicated on an atmosphere free from terrorism, violence and the threat of it," Mukherjee said in a statement on arrival in Islamabad on May 20. Mukherjee, who expressed the optimism that the new democratic environment in Pakistan would help the two countries address issues of peace and security, people-to-people contact and economic development, held talks with the Pakistan People’s Party leader Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistan Muslim League (N) leader Nawaz Sharif and Awami National Party leader Asfandyar Wali Khan. He will hold a ministerial review of the fourth round of the composite dialogue process with his counterpart, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, on May 21 (today), and will also meet President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gillani.

A suspected militant of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), identified as Abdul Rehman, was arrested by the Special Cell of the Delhi Police outside the New Delhi railway station on May 21, The Hindu reported. Police sources said that 3.1 kilograms of RDX, five detonators and a sophisticated timer device were recovered from the Janakpuri locality in west Delhi following his interrogation, PTI reported. No ammunition or weapons were recovered from the suspected militant's possession. A joint team of the Special Cell and Central Intelligence is interrogating him to find out whether he was part of the module which carried out the serial bomb blasts in Jaipur on May 13. The Special Cell reportedly received a tip-off that a suspected militant would come to Delhi on board a train from Howrah in West Bengal.

Pakistan on May 21 agreed with India to push for an improvement in bilateral economic relations simultaneously with efforts to resolve all outstanding issues, including Kashmir, The Hindu reported. At the end of talks with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi declared that his Government was ready for a “grand reconciliation” with India through dialogue to resolve all outstanding issues “with self-respect and dignity.” Both sides strongly reaffirmed that they would not permit terrorism to impede the peace process and, in a joint statement, “re-emphasised the need for effective steps for the complete elimination of this menace.” The statement said the two Ministers reaffirmed the importance of the cease-fire in place since November 2003 and the commitment of both sides to safeguard it. The countries also signed an agreement on consular access to prisoners, an important step in ensuring the early release of nationals of the two countries from each other’s jails after they have completed their sentence. Pakistan agreed that terrorism was a "common menace" and promised to work with India in combating the problem as Mukherjee and Qureshi held wide-ranging talks covering various issues, including Siachen, Sir Creek and cross-LoC Confidence Building Measures, Daily Excelsior reported. At a joint press conference in Islamabad, the Ministers said that in their review of the fourth round of the composite dialogue process, they concurred that significant progress had been made on several fronts. They singled out Sir Creek as one major issue on which much progress had been made. However, Qureshi said it was as important for the dialogue to make progress on issues that had been lagging behind, such as the “core issue” of Kashmir.
