Rediff please clarify ..... I am pasting news report from NDTV :
Nine years after the Coimbatore blasts that killed 52 people and injured 167 others, a local court has begun giving out its verdict.
Chief of the fundamentalist Islamic group Al Umma, S A Basha, who masterminded the blasts, has been found guilty of criminal conspiracy, which could invite a maximum punishment of life imprisonment.
The blasts had targetted the venue of senior BJP leader L K Advani's election campaign.
Much like the Mumbai blasts verdict, the judgement will be a staggered one and the sentences will be pronounced next week.
The textile city has been brought under a two layered security cordon, including the city police, bomb disposal squad, the reserve police and bicycle patrolling.
