Indian police probe Islamist blast claim

NEW DELHI: Indian federal investigators said they had received an email, purportedly from an Islamist militant group active in South Asia, claiming responsibility for Wednesday's bomb blast at Delhi's High Court.

S.C. Sinha, Director General of the National Investigation Agency said the mail claimed to be from the Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HUJI) which has been linked to previous attacks on Indian soil. "It would be very premature to make any comment on the mail at this stage, but yes that mail has to be looked at seriously, because HUJI is a very prominent terrorist group," Sinha told reporters in New Delhi.
