New assessment on Delhi Blast:

Indian Authorities believe that Delhi blast near Red Fort was triggered as the bomber panicked after action on Faridabad terror module. The bomber was attempting to relocate or dispose of an incomplete IED/explosives.
Since no crater was formed, no projectiles used, the device lacked full explosive capacity. The explosion happened even as the vehicle was still in motion.

Agencies believe a massive attack was averted due to heightened alertness by security agencies across India.
It is seen as a case of "accidental explosion" by the bomber-suspect, who was in panic mode after action on the Faridabad terror module.
