UDHAMPUR/JAMMU, Sep 29: Suspected terrorists triggered a blast in a parked bus in Udhampur early Thursday, nine hours after a similar explosion took place in the city but there was no casualty, police said.
Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Jammu region Mukesh Singh visited both the sites and said high explosives might have been used in carrying out the blasts which were of the same pattern.
"Initial examination points towards use of high explosives," he said, adding probe is on to ascertain whether it was the handiwork of terror modules.
The roof and the backside of the bus were blown away by the blast that occurred around 5.30 am but no one was injured, police said.
The explosions took place days ahead of the visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah from October 4. He was supposed to embark on a three-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir on September 30 and hold public meetings in Rajouri on October 1 and Baramulla on October 2. However, the visit was rescheduled.
