One top source said the blasts in Kashmir and those in Mumbai certainly seem corelated, though all possible angles were being probed.

Terrorism [ Images ] expert B Raman said the Kashmir [ Images ] blasts and the Mumbai blasts seem orchestrated by the same command and control.

Raman believes there is a strong possibility of Al Qaeda [ Images ] being behind the blasts and they could have been executed by fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim [ Images ] -- who was behind the March 12, 1993 blasts in Mumbai -- or the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e- Tayiba.

A Mumbai special court is likely to deliver judgment on the 1993 blasts soon.
