they are a bunch of cowards. Another e-mail, this too from Mumbai.

Another blast, another e-mail from Mumbai. Minutes before five blasts went off in New Delhi, the Indian Mujahideen sent an e-mail to a television channel, bragging about its role in the attacks. Like in the July 26 Ahmedabad blasts case, the e-mail was traced to an eastern suburb in Mumbai.
The blasts had the same footprints as those in Hyderabad, Jaipur and Ahmedabad, with the e-mail-threatening to set off nine blasts in the Capital-claiming that Saturday's blasts are a continuation of the attacks in Gujarat and Rajasthan.
The rabid mail, which poured vitriol on Indian authorities, contained references to some very local Mumbai incidents-like a police raid on some Muslim colonies in Andheri-that were hardly noticed or reported even in the city. This, investigators said, showed that the perpetrators had good knowledge of events in Mumbai, possibly through a local network.
Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare told The Sunday Express that they suspected Saturday's mail was sent from a WiFi Internet connection at 201/202, Eric House, Commercial Complex, 16th Road, Chembur. The July 26 e-mail, sent minutes before the Ahmedabad blasts, had been traced to the unsecured WiFi connection of US national Kenneth Haywood in the eastern satellite city of Navi Mumbai, but its senders are yet to be traced. Another terror e-mail sent weeks earlier was traced to Khalsa College in Matunga, another eastern Mumbai suburb.
The two-storey Chembur building, from where Saturday's mail was sent, houses some garment shops, restaurants on the ground floor and has a pathology lab, a physiotherapy clinic and the office of a property developer on the first floor. On the second floor, 201/202, the residence of M.K. Kamat, was locked. The security guard said Kamat, his wife and son had been away all day. Investigators told The Sunday Express that Kamat owned Kamran Power Controls Pvt Ltd, which manufactures and exports electrical panels and control panel boards.
They said the PDF file in the terror e-mail seemed to have been created at 1.38 p.m. on Saturday while the e-mail ID, al_arbi_delhi@yahoo.com, from which the mail was sent was created minutes earlier. The high-end software used to create the PDF file was similar to those used in previous mails, indicating that the same group could be behind the mails.
The mail referred to a night raid on some Muslim colonies in Mumbai's Andheri suburb on August 31 and alleged that the ATS had harassed and troubled Muslims there. "You threatened to murder them and your mischief went to such an extent that you even dared to abuse and insult Maulana Mahmoood-ul-Hasan Qasmi and even misbehaved with the Muslim women and children there," the mail said.
The 13-page e-mail devotes considerable space to investigations carried out by the Gujarat and Rajasthan police and also the Mumbai ATS. Calling the Gujarat police's crackdown a "forged story", the mail taunts the police, asking them that if the masterminds had been nabbed then, "which mastermind executed today's attack?"
The e-mail signed off by Guru Al Hindi and Al-Arbi, further says: "The Indian Mujahideen accepts the sole responsibility for the Delhi serial blasts and we claim this through our third consecutive e-mail, which is unfortunately, still a mystery for you. It is very sad to see the bad condition of your cyber forensics who have still failed to find out our technique of sending the message of death."

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Five bombs exploded in quick succession in crowded markets and streets in New Delhi on Saturday, killing at least 20 people and injuring at least 90 more, police said.
The Indian Mujahideen Islamic militant group, which has claimed several major attacks in recent months, sent an e-mail to television stations saying it was responsible for the blasts.
Police and witnesses said two bombs went off in dustbins in and around Connaught Place, a shopping and dining area popular with tourists and locals in the city centre. Others exploded within minutes of each other in busy markets around the city.
"Around 6:30 p.m. we heard a very loud noise, then we saw people running all over the place," said Chanchal Kumar, a witness whose shirt was soaked with the blood of several victims whom he had helped to carry into ambulances.
"There were about 100-200 people around this place," he said. The weekend was a particularly busy one ahead of Hindu and Muslim festivals.
The Indian Mujahideen e-mail mentioned nine bombs. Police said they had found and defused four.
"We have news of 20 people killed, and the toll could rise as many people are seriously injured," Delhi police commissioner Y.S. Dadwal told reporters.
In a hospital bed, Gulab Singh, his head bandaged, wailed at the death of his 2-year-old grandson.
"We were all sitting around the parking lot when suddenly there was a huge blast. We did not know what happened. My world has changed," Singh said, crying inconsolably.
WAVE OF BOMBINGS
Hundreds of people have been killed in a wave of bombings in India in recent years, mostly blamed on Muslim militants, with targets ranging from mosques and Hindu temples to trains.
In July, at least 45 people were killed when a series of bombs ripped through Ahmedabad in Gujarat. A day earlier, one woman died when eight bombs went off in the IT hub of Bangalore.
The failure to prevent the attacks has become an embarrassment for the Congress party-led coalition government, with elections less than a year away.
Police say the Indian Mujahideen is an offshoot of the banned Students' Islamic Movement of India, but that local Muslims appear to have been given training and backing by militant groups in neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh.
"I can just say that these blasts have been planned by the enemies of the country and they will be taught a lesson," Minister of State for Home Affairs Sriprakash Jaiswal told reporters at one site.
Arun Jaitley, a senior leader of opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, told the NDTV channel that the profile of the bombers had changed over the last three years and attacks could no longer be blamed on outsiders.
"Homegrown terrorists are on the increase," he said. "We cannot shut our eyes to that reality."
Many streets that would normally have been bustling on a Saturday night quickly emptied after news of the attacks.
CROWDS TARGETED
One bomb exploded in a newly constructed park in the centre of the Connaught Place roundabout, built above one of the main stations of the Delhi underground. Police closed down the metro and major markets in the city as a precaution.
Another bomb went off in a dustbin near an underground station entrance on an arterial road leading into the area, housing the offices of several foreign banks and multinational companies.
"It was a huge blast," said another witness, Sanjeev Gole.
Other attacks came in the Ghaffar Market area of Karol Bagh, full of electronics shops and packed at weekends, and in Greater Kailash 1, home to restaurants and high-end retail outlets.
Broadcasts showed wrecked cars and mangled motorbikes alongside personal belongings, some of them bloodstained, and abandoned shoes.
Wounded people were shown being carried away by rescuers, one leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
Hundreds of people milled around as police cordoned off the sites of the explosions, many of them angry with the authorities.
India's deadliest attack in recent years came in July 2006, when seven bombs exploded on Mumbai's railway system, killing more than 180 people.
The last major attack to hit the capital was in 2005, when 66 people were killed when three bombs exploded in busy markets.
