The investigation for 7/11 blast in which 189 people died was under question mark from the very first month after the Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad started arresting the accused from different parts of city. Within 10 days of blast by July 22, 2006, ATS arrested all the 13 terror accused in the case under the leadership of ATS chief, K P Raghuvanshi.
The terrorists opened fire on the camp housing labourers of a private company working on construction of a tunnel Gund area in the district, officials said.
Dr Dar and six labourers were killed when terrorists struck a tunnel construction site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway in Ganderbal on Sunday evening.
The assailants believed to be Pakistani terrorists, meticulously studied the site layout before executing their plan.
Based on intelligence reports, the Uttar Pradesh police now believe that the masterminds of the Varanasi blast may be Asadullah Akhthar and Dr Shahnawaz. The Bhatkal brothers -- Riyaz and Iqbal -- are also suspected to have helped plan the blast, said sources.According to sources in the Intelligence Bureau, all four suspects are hiding in Sharjah, where the terror attack had been planned.
In the wake of a final verdict on the Batla House encounter case, the National Investigation Agency and police teams from several states are all set to launch another manhunt for the head honchos of the Indian Mujahideen.

The lax security in jails is under scanner with recent episodes of breaks and murders of inmates, reports Vicky Nanjappa.
A dossier on the Indian Mujahideen, which was prepared following its resurrection post the Batla House encounter, had termed the outfit as a "start to finish jihad factory."
The Indian Mujahideen follows the same pattern as its creator, Lashkar-e-Tayiba.
Given the nature of his job, a terrorist heading an underground organisation usually grooms a successor who is prepared to take over in case of his boss's arrest or demise.
Interference from politicians in terror cases creates added confusion, giving operatives enough time to give investigators the slip. Vicky Nanjappa reports
