Click to play videoNew Delhi: Initial investigations into the Jaipur serial blasts that took place on Tuesday evening point towards the involvement of Bangladesh-based Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islami (HuJI).
HuJI was established in 1992 and the terror outfit's activities were first noticed in June 1996 in Bangladesh.
They are also reported to have links with the Al-Qaida.
In India, they reportedly have links to the attack on the American Centre in Kolkata in 2002, in which five policemen were killed.
HuJI has been linked to most serial blasts in the country in the past four years including the 2005 Delhi serial blasts and the attack on the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore.
It's also been blamed for the Sankat Mochan Mandir attacks in Varanasi in March 2006, Mecca Masjid blasts in Hyderabad in 2007 and the serial blasts in Uttar Pradesh in November 2007.
The US State Department labeled HuJI as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation on March 5, 2008.
More than 60 people have been killed in eight blasts that rocked Rajasthan’s capital within a space of 12 minutes. All the blasts took place in the walled city. The bomb disposal squad also diffused three bombs.
