Delhi HC blast: IM's mail traced to Bengal, NIA gets fresh warning

After e-mails from two outfits claiming responsibility for the blast outside the Delhi High Court on Wednesday, a third terror mail surfaced on today. Meanwhile, the second mail in connection with the blast was traced to West Bengal, sources said.

An e-mail to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), allegedly sent by yet another unknown organisation Kill Indians, has warned of a terror attack in the near future. The warning was encrypted in numeric code.

The latest mail was sent from a Yahoo mail id, killindians. The ministry of home affairs (MHA) has asked Yahoo India for details on the source of the terror e-mail.

Earlier, Indian Mujahideen (IM) and unknown Harkat-ul-Jihad had claimed responsibility for the bombing, which killed 13 people. While Harkat, the name of which resembles to that of Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), had sent a mail to media houses hours after the blast, IM had claimed the attack sending mails to news channels on Thursday.

Claiming responsibility for the blast, the IM mail said that it could not be the handiwork of HuJI because the IM "executed it". In fact, it warned "we will next be targeting a shopping complex on Tuesday and no one can do anything about it".

The IM mail was traced to some undisclosed location in West Bengal. Investigators were trying to get the exact location of the IP address from where the alleged IM mail was sent.

Earlier on Thursday, the Harkat's mail was tracked to a cyber café in Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir.

Investigators have also been looking at a third possibility of the involvement of Babbar Khalsa.
