Malegaon: Police on Monday said RDX was used in the Malegaon bomb blasts along with other compounds.

A report from one of the three laboratories that tested samples from the blast sites says that the bombs contained a mixture of RDX, ammonium nitrate and fuel oil, said Nashik's Superintendent of Police Rajvardhan.

Rajvardhan released a sketch of a man who was seen outside the Hamidia mosque around the time of the explosions. This is the third sketch police have issued.

Police had on Sunday released sketches of two men who bought bicycles believed to have been used to plant the bombs. "Nobody has been arrested, nobody has been detained so far," Rajvardhan said. Police were still questioning "some people" and some witnesses, he said.

Investigators had gone to some places to follow up leads, he said but did not give details. When it was pointed out that the contents of the bombs used in Malegaon was similar to those used in the July 11 train bombings in Mumbai, Rajvardhan said, "We can't say anything till we get reports from all the agencies (that are testing the samples).

Thirty-one people were killed and nearly 300 injured in four blasts in Malegaon on Friday.
