The court, however, reserved the order for the quantum of sentence, which will be announced tomorrow.
The church blasts were masterminded by a Pakistan-based Deendar Anjuman group in 2000. The group had planned a series of attacks on churches in Bangalore, Hubli and Gulbarga. Some people, led by key person Ibrahim, were caught by the city police when the bomb, which they were carrying to plant in a church, exploded. As a result two people died and Ibrahim seriously injured .
Ibrahim who was admitted to the hospital told the police, they intended to create communal disturbance and hence were planting bombs in churches around the state .
The CoD officials are yet to arrest the mastermind behind the attack as he is said to have fled to Pakistan.
