New Delhi/ Hyderabad: At least 36 people died and 40 were injured in two blasts at two places in Hyderabad on Saturday evening. The blasts occurred at around 1930 hrs IST—the first at Lumbini Park on Necklace Road near the state Secretariat and the second five minutes later at Gokul Chat shop, a popular eating joint in Koti. The two places are eight km apart. More than two dozen people at Gokul Chat and six at Lumbini Park. Several hundred people had gathered at an auditorium in Lumbini Park for a laser show off the Hussain Sagar Lake. State Home Minister K Jana Reddy said around 500 people were in the auditorium when the blast ripped through the middle row of seats. Reddy alleged the state government had got intelligence inputs that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence planned terror attacks in the state.

Central security agencies on Saturday said that banned Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islami (Huji) militant outfit of Bangladesh was possibly behind the twin blast in Hyderabad in which 30 people were killed.
Sources said that there could be similarities between the explosives used in Mecca masjid blast in Hyderabad in May this year and Saturday night's explosion.
It was suspected that Shahid and Bilal, who were the masterminds of the the Mecca masjid blast were also behind Saturday's explosion.
Shahid is reported to be Karachi(Pakistan) and is instrumental in bringing people for arms training to Hyderabad.
CBI has already procured a red-corner notice from interpol against Shahid.
The Religion of Pieces is adding more pieces (human flesh) to their Death Cult.
EXCERPTS:
Twenty four people died when an explosion ripped through Gokul Chat Shop at Kothi locality at around 7.50 pm, Andhra Pradesh Home Minister K Jana Reddy told reporters.
In another blast five minutes earlier at a place five kilometres away, six persons perished in a blast in an auditorium in Lumbini Amusement Park near the State Secretariat in the heart of the city when a laser show was on, he said.
Reddy said about 500 people were in the auditorium at the time of the incident.
The blast ripped through the middle row of the auditorium when the show had just begun.
So powerful was the blast that some of bodies were flung into the air and scattered over the area.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner Balwinder Singh said the toll at Lumbini Park, overlooking the picturesque Hussain Sagar lake, may go up as it was teeming with weekend crowd.
Bangladeshis are such ingrates. Killing the same people who freed them.
But it does reflect poorly on India as well, that a tiny country like Bangladesh is able to wreak havoc and kill so many people.
Guess the Pakis have outsourced contracts to the Bangladeshis to operate in India.Too many bangladeshi names figure in the list over the last couple of years.
