IM twitter handle claiming credit for Bodh Gaya blasts suspended

July 11, 2013 17:20

Twitter has suspended an account claiming to be that of the terror group Indian Mujahideen, suspected to have orchestrated the Bodh Gaya serial blasts.

Official sources said IP address of the tweet handle @IndianMujahidin was traced to Pakistan.

The account had claimed responsibility for the 10 synchronised blasts that took place in the Mahabodhi temple on July 7 morning, leaving two monks injured.

The sources said investigators are looking into the genuineness of the twitter handle but they are suspicious as it became active barely a day before the blasts shook Bodh Gaya.
