Ahmedabad bombs camouflaged as Ghee products

The boat-shaped bombs used to trigger blasts in Ahmedabad were packed in cartons of milk and ghee products to escape detection.
Ammonium nitrate mixed with emulsifier (slurry) resembles ghee and cheese, and this helped terrorists to use cartons of a private dairy in Gujarat to pack them.
“They kept them in the cartons to claim that they were ghee and cheese in case they were checked,” said a senior police officer working with anti terror unit said. “It was a major deception.” Terror suspects in Surat, who had used two stolen Wagon R cars, had hidden the bomb under cloth bundles.
“In this instance, they were pretending to be cloth merchants,” said the police officer. “Anyone who peeps into car will think that they are cloth bundles. This is all done to avoid checking at the police posts.
Police officers who visited Gujarat also found that one of the unexploded bombs had been wrapped in an English newspaper dated May 21.
Earlier, they found another bomb wrapped in a Gujarati newspaper of May 17, the day before the first anniversary of Mecca Masjid blasts.
“This makes it clear that the terror operatives prepared the bombs in May itself for use in Ahmedabad,” said the cop.
Meanwhile, sleuths are analysing the e-prom chips used in Bengaluru and Surat bombs.
Police confirmed that the bombs used in Hyderabad twin explosions, Ahmedabad and Surat are similar.
In AP the terrorists had wrapped the bombs as gift packets
