Buzz: Mastermind behind Hyd blasts dead?

Shahid Bilal, the prime accused behind the twin blasts that rocked the city of Hyderabad in August and the man suspected to be the mastermind of a series of terror attacks in the country, is reportedly dead, if the media reports are anything to go by. It is learnt that Bilal may have been shot dead in Karachi, just 5 days after the terror attacks in Hyderabad.

The speculation is rife that Bilal could have been been killed by the ISI, in a bid to cover up its own link with the terrorist after Indian intelligence agencies began their hot pursuit of the man.

Meanwhile, there is an alternate theory doing the rounds that Bilal could have been a victim of rivalry between factions of HUJI, the terror group that he took command of in 2005.

According to Sources, Harkat Ul Jehadi Islami (HUJI) is being touted as the prime outfit behind the Hyderabad blasts and the face of HUJI being none other than Mohd Abdul Shahided alias Bilal.
