New Delhi, Feb 21 (UNI) The investigative agencies have made a significant breakthrough in the Samjhauta Express blasts by identifying from where the suitcases in which bombs were planted in the train were brought.

''The investigation is going on in full swing and we have identified from where the suitcases were brought,'' Home Ministry sources said here today.

The suitcases filled with the low intensity high heat and temperature generating timer bombs were left in the Attari bound train which exploded about one hour after the train had left the Delhi station.

They, however, refused to comment whether Pakistan based Lashker-e-Toiba was involved in the blasts which claimed 68 lives, including many Pakistani nationals.

Meanwhile, Home Secretary V K Duggal today discussed the progress of investigations with the Delhi Police Commissioner K K Paul and the Director Intelligence Bureau.

The investigative agencies are investigating a call made to the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir just after the blasts.

Asked whether the person who made the telephone call has been identified, the sources refused to comment.
