Law enforcement agencies have found important clues of the two bomb blasts in Islamabad and investigations are continuing satisfactorily, said Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema on Tuesday.
In his weekly press briefing on law and order situation, the spokesman said that the investigators had come to an important point, saying that the two fatal suicide blasts in Islamabad had many similarities.
He made it clear that the security forces did not use bomb of any type in Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa during the "Operation Silence". "No phosphorous bomb was used. If the government had used such bombs, the operation would have ended in two hours. It would not have taken such a long time", he claimed.
About law and order situation in Tribal Areas, he said that the NWFP governor and his team was negotiating with people in Mohmand Agency, adding the emerging issue of another Lal Masjid in the Agency would be resolved amicably.
The spokesman said that 16 more dead bodies had been identified and relatives were being contacted to hand over the bodies to them whereas 44 dead bodies were still unidentified and DNA tests were being recycled. However, he did not give details of the identified dead bodies.
To a question, he said that most of the people inside the Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa in the last two days were militants and from the DNA tests it was difficult to say how many foreign militants were there.
