Summary:
Coimbatore, Oct 28 (PTI) Tamil Nadu Governor R.N Ravi on Friday attributed the car explosion here on the eve of Deepavali to an attempt to unleash a major terror attack.
The explosives found later and IED-making chemicals and what goes into thems were enough to suggest that they had planned a series of attacks, Ravi said.
He said this while addressing a function at the JSS Institute of Naturopathy and Yogic Science and Hospitals near here.
"The incident that happened a few days back in the district was an attempt to unleash a major terror attack.
The question is when the Tamil Nadu police got the suspects within hours, why did it take more than four days to bring in the NIA," he asked "Why did the decision-makers take over four days to call the National Investigation Agency after the police arrested the suspects in the blast..." wondered Ravi.
"Terrorists are enemies of all and friends of none.
We know terrorists don"t work in isolation.
They are a part of a larger network.
What they were doing was part of a larger conspiracy.
