(Source: ANI) Explosion in 59320 Bhopal-Ujjain passenger train. Sources said a sweep was ordered Tuesday after intelligence agencies picked up mobile phone chatter on the train explosion and the suspects. The four men, police sources familiar with the surveillance claimed, had made contact with pro-Islamic State Facebook accounts, and downloaded jihadist material, ahead of the attack on the Bhopal-Ujjain train. Intelligence inputs to UP police said the suspects could be part of an Islamic State module. The bomb used on the Bhopal-Ujjain train, sources said, was fabricated from sawn-off metal pipe, filled with gunpowder — a simple design that has the potential to inflict lethal casualties if built properly.
