Latest Hyderabad Blasts And Mecca Masjid Blasts - A Possible Connection?

A friend of mine pointed to a very interesting fact he found in the Eenadu newspaper - that the Hyderabad blasts have occurred exactly on the 100th day after the 18th May Mecca Masjid Blasts.

I don't know what the importance of this fact is but it does seem to have some symbolic relation to the latest blasts.

It is really unfortunate that the national media hasn't made an effort to bring up "links" like this. Are they sleeping? It is always better to get hold of regional newspapers to get more close-to-the-ground information for incidents like this.

For those of you who can read Telugu, here's the link to the Eenadu article that pointed out this fact:

The link seems to be a Daily Pioneer type link. The article at this link may be replaced by another one by tomorrow. For reference, an English translation is provided below of the pertinent section. A copy of the entire article is on my blog.


Heading: What are the answers to these questions?

1. Of what significance is the fact that the blasts occurred on the same day Rs. 2. 36 crores of fake currency, suspected to have been brought to Hyderabad by Dawood Ibrahim's gang, was confiscated in the old city?

2. What is indicated by the fact that these blasts have occurred exactly on the 100th day of the Mecca Masjid Blasts?

3. Was the Mecca Masjid attack actually a failed serial blast attempt? Is this blast intended to make up for the "failure" of the Mecca Masjid blasts?

4. What is indicated by the fact that these blasts occurred exactly 20 days before the Ganesh Navratri celebrations begin in the city?

5. These blasts have occurred in the same month in which the perpetrators of the 1993 Mumbai blasts were awarded punishments. Is there any link?

Most of these links are actually silly. 1, 4 and 5 are remote links. 2 and 3, however, are interesting.
