At least 8 dead in the Red Fort blast. It looks like a terror attack, although there is still no official confirmation.
If it is indeed a terror attack, it could be linked to the seizure of 2900 kg of IED-making material from a doctor in Faridabad today. The scale of that material suggests it was not the work of a single individual. Large quantities of explosives usually indicate a network with multiple storage, logistics, and planning points across different locations.
When one part of such a network is exposed, others may rush plans out of fear of imminent arrest. A premature blast can sometimes reflect panic inside the network rather than a carefully prepared operation.
All doctors arrested in the Faridabad case must be subjected to immediate, uncompromising interrogation.
