New Delhi, September 09: Two days after an explosion outside Delhi High Court claimed 13 lives and injured at least 73 others, the mystery surrounding who’s behind the blast remains unravelled.
Another terror e-mail surfaced on Friday, warning of an impending attack. The e-mail from a Yahoo! Account has been sent to the authorities in which an unnamed terror group claimed the responsibility for the blast.
According to reports, the e-mail has also warned of an impending attack in the national capital. The Ministry of Home Affairs has asked Yahoo! for the details of the e-mail account.
On Wednesday itself, Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islami (HuJI) claimed responsibility for the explosion. But on Thursday, Indian Mujahideen said it executed the blast. And on Friday, another e-mail from an unknown group claiming responsibility made it more complicated for the officials.
In an e-mail to a few media organisations, the IM in fact warned of carrying out another attack on September 13 (Tuesday) at a crowded shopping complex. “Stop us if you can,” dared the IM.
“There cannot be any connection between HuJI and Wednesday’s blast. We planned it long back to carry out the blast at Delhi High Court on Wednesday since it is the busiest day. HuJI is remotely not involved,” said an e-mail sent by Chotoo, who spelt Mujahideen as Muzahiddin.
Meanwhile, two people were detained in Uttar Pradesh today in connection with the Delhi High Court blast.
Five people were arrested in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday over the e-mail reportedly sent by the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI).
