The Blast that took place at a Jehovah’s witnesses prayer convention near Kochi on Sunday came a day after a Hamas leader made an online address to an anti-Israel meet organised by a Muslim or organisation in the state . for a few hours’s until the perpetrator of the act of terror that claimed three lives and injured over 50 persons surrendered to police , many feared , partly due to fear
