The bombing of a popular Pune, India, restaurant on the evening of Feb. 13 has left investigators wondering why the terrorists chose this particular target.
Investigators say there is reason to believe that that Pune’s Chabad House, which is located across the road from the German Bakery, may have been the intended target of the latest attack.
The terrorists who carried the bomb (an improvised explosive device made of RDX and ammonium nitrate) could have panicked at the sight of heavy security at the Chabad House and dumped the bag at the German Bakery.
The bomb exploded when a waiter was asked to open and check the bag, which had been left under a table.
Nine people were killed in the explosion, including an Iranian and a Nigerian.
At least 40 people, among them many foreigners, suffered serious injuries. — jpost.com
