NEW DELHI: Interrogation of Abdul Karim Tunda , the Lashkar master bomber arrested on Saturday, seems to be supporting an internal note exchanged between intelligence agencies and Delhi Police after the Mahabodhi Temple blast in Bodh Gaya .

The note, exclusively accessed by TOI, had stated that Tunda was trying to recruit Rohingya operatives for terror attacks. "It is learnt that Lashkar-e-Taiba was instigating Rohingyas to avenge the recent sectarian violence in Myanmar. This narrowly focuses on the Indian investigations into the July 7 serial bomb blasts at the Mahabodhi temple in Gaya, Bihar , on Islamic militant groups inside India and Bangladesh.

"The Rohingyas are Myanmar's Muslim minority, largely settled in the coastal Arakan province. Myanmar has seen increasing sectarian violence in the past two years between its dominant Buddhist majority and the Rohingyas," it stated.

According to intelligence sources, the umbrella organizations like Jamaat-ul-Arakan and the Rohingya Solidarity Organization are running terror training camps in remote areas of Bandarban district in Bangladesh adjoining the Myanmar border. "It was Abdul Karim Tunda who was reportedly exploring the possibility of recruiting Rohingya youth for terror on behalf of the LeT," said the note.

Tunda, during the interrogation, has also allegedly given names of some Rohingya leaders. However, sources say, he has so far refrained from giving straight answers.

All these facts are leading the security agencies to believe that Indian Mujahideen may not be part of the Bodh Gaya serial blasts and it was a larger conspiracy hatched by LeT from Pakistan.

Sources say ISI and LeT are also funding Rohingyas. They also have links with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) of Pakistan, and Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami and Jamaat-e-Mujahideen of Bangladesh, sources added.

The terrorists had kept 13 improvised explosive devices, out of which three didn't go off, were kept at the Bodhgaya temple on July 7. All the 13 LPG cylinders weighed 2.5 kg each and was packed with 2kg of ammonium nitrate and detonators. The analysis of case, which is being investigated by NIA, has so far revealed that the bombs were kept to cause maximum casualties.
