New Delhi: The police have reportedly made some headway in the probe of the Mumbai serial blasts which took place on Wednesday evening claiming twenty lives and leaving scores injured.

Sources told CNN-IBN that there could be a Kolkata link to the blasts and that the Maharashtra Anti Terror Squad (ATS) is in touch with the Kolkata Special Task Force (STF). This came after a suspect believed to be associated with the Indian Mujahideen went missing in the last few days.

Sources also said that the ATS has asked for the details of the passenger lists from Kolkata to Mumbai for 8 days before the blasts. It has also asked for the reservation charts.

Meanwhile, a NIA team visited Ahmedabad on Friday to meet Indian Mujahideen suspect Danish who was arrested by the Crime Branch in connection with the Ahemdabad blast in 2008,

The Ahemdabad crime branch and Gujarat ATS is coordinating with Mumbai ATS with regards to information with Indian Mujahideen modules.

In Mumbai, people living close to a possible safe house of the terrorists are being questioned as the police now believes that a safe house close to the blast locations was used as the assembly point.
