ATS: 2 good leads, suspect sketch soon - Indian Express

There is now ?absolute unanimity? that the three bombs used in Wednesday?s terror attack in Mumbai were packed inside metallic containers and triggered by digital timers.

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Rakesh Maria revealed this here on Saturday, adding that a sketch of a suspect should be ready by late Saturday based on eyewitness account from one of the blast sites. The police are also trying to locate an individual seen in the CCTV image picked up from another blast site, he said, confirming that they have ?two leads for two blast sites?, and that these were ?good leads?.

Maria added that based on ?forensic opinion? and ?visits to various sites?, they had firmly ruled out the possibility of a suicide bomber being involved. According to sources, cellphones were used as timers in all the three bombs.

Talking about the CCTV footage, the ATS chief said: ?Locals? help is being sought to identify the individuals. This work is still not complete. We do have a photograph at one of the locations which needs more verification and investigation. Our team is on the job on this individual.?
