'Indian Mujahideen backed by LT'
 Indian Mujahideen - the group that claimed responsibility for last week's deadly bomb blasts in New Delhi - is being supported by Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, Delhi police said on Saturday.This is the first time New Delhi has linked last Saturday's serial blasts, which claimed at least 24 lives, to Lashkar-e-Taiba. Delhi Police Joint Commissioner Karnal Singh told reporters that Lashkar-e-Taiba "was providing complete support to the Indian Mujahideen and the Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI)". The Indian Mujahideen first came to public attention last November following serial blasts in Varanasi, Faizabad and Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh in which at least 13 people died. The group has said it was also responsible for a string of five bomb blasts in July in the western city of Ahmedabad that killed at least 45 people. Posted by: Fred 2008-09-21 |
