Minor explosion outside NIA camp office

KOLKATA: A minor explosion took place outside the camp office of NIA, which is probing the Burdwan blast case, in Salt Lake area here this evening.

A crude bomb went off outside the NIA camp office, causing damage to the boundary wall of the CRPF campus where anti-terror probe agency has established its camp office to probe the Burdwan blast, official sources said.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) had last month nearly 40 improvised explosive devices linked to Burdwan blast suspects.

West Bengal police and NIA together achieved two major break-through in the past three days by arresting top commanders of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) including Sajid on Saturday and Amjad Sheikh today.
