Yesterday, 7 bomb blasts rocked the city of Jaipur.  An eighth bomb was difused by authorities, but the damage was already done.  80 people were killed and more than 100 were injured.

Today, sources claimed they are looking for a woman, who had tried to lure a rickshaw driver into executing the blasts for Rs 100,000. 

Here is a brief excerpt from the Times of India article:

“We are looking for a woman, identified as Meena, who tried to lure a rickshaw puller, Vijay, to carry out the attacks,” a police officer said on the condition of anonymity.

Vijay, a resident of Mumbai who suffered minor shrapnel injures, told the police that Meena lives near one of the blast sites. No further details of the woman’s role in the bombings were available.

According to the police, the first blast took place around 7.15 pm (local time) in the crowded Johari Bazaar. Within 15 minutes seven more blasts occurred in adjoining areas of the walled city.

The sites were near a Hanuman Mandir, which was milling with devotees, near the tourist attraction Hawa Mahal, at Badi Chaupad, Tripolia Bazar as well as Chandpole.
