The serial blasts in Mumbai on Wednesday night were the handiwork of the Inter Services Intelligence which is trying to spread terror in India, believes Girish Chander Saxena, former governor of Jammu and Kashmir and former chief of the Intelligence Bureau.
"I have little doubt that the incidents in Mumbai and the one Pulwama in Kashmir, in which three top terrorists including two persons of Pakistan origin and a local militants were killed by security forces, could be linked," he told rediff.com.
He wondered if the Intelligence Bureau had provided the state police with some inputs about the impending attack in Mumbai.
"We will know that in a few hours," he said.
"The pressure from the developments in the eastern front of Pakistan may have been the main cause of trying to ease off the pressure from terror attacks within Pakistan by resorting to a terror attack in India with the help of the Indian Mujahideen and the Lasker-e-Tayiba. Harkat ul Ansaar and other outfits may also be involved in these attacks," Saxena said.
