India sets up team to probe Jaipur blasts

NEW DELHI, May 16 (UPI) -- India has set up a special investigative team to probe Tuesday's bomb explosions in the city of Jaipur in which 64 people were killed.

The government of the state of Rajasthan said the force also would fight terrorism.

Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said video footage of the blasts could be an attempt to mislead the probe.

The chief minister said there were discrepancies in the way the bags containing bombs were placed on the cycles used in the blasts and in the way they were shown in the video.

"We are making further investigations into the incident. I fear I cannot tell you much at this point of time of the probe. In fact, we are in the middle of a war. Today's terrorists are not thieves or burglars; they are well connected and use most sophisticated communication systems. The whole operation was carried out with considerable skill, indicating that we are fighting a very formidable enemy," the chief minister said.

Meanwhile, investigating agencies have expressed doubts about the genuineness of an e-mail and an attached video clip sent to the media Wednesday by the group Indian Mujaheddin, claiming responsibility for the Jaipur blasts.

The police, continuing their hunt for the terrorists, have released three more sketches of suspects involved in the blasts. One such sketch was released Wednesday.
