The NSG has told the Delhi police that the IED recovered recently from the Ghazipur flower market had a timer device attached to it and had ammonium nitrate and RDX, which was used in several Mumbai blasts, as its components, official sources said on Monday.


The federal counter-terrorist commando force had sent experts from its National Bomb Data Centre (NBDC) based in Haryana’s Manesar to defuse the improvised explosive device that was recovered on January 14.


The sources said a final post-blast investigation report has been submitted to the Delhi police and it states that the IED contained ammonium nitrate, RDX, a 9-volt battery, iron pieces that could act as shrapnel and had a timer device attached to it. The RDX was used as the core explosive but it did not blow off due to a “glitch” in the circuit, they said.
