NEW DELHI - A single group was probably behind three blasts that killed dozens in New Delhi, police said on Sunday after a group with links to hard-line Kashmiri guerrillas claimed responsibility for the festive season carnage.The explosions occurred within about 20 minutes of each other. âFrom the timing, it seems the same group was behind all three cases,â Karnail Singh, joint commissioner of police, told a press conference.
Little-known group Inquilab (Revolution) said it was behind the blasts which killed 61 people and injured 210. It made the claim in telephone calls on Sunday to reporters in Srinagar, Indian Kashmir. âSuch attacks will continue until India pulls out all its troops from the state (of Kashmir) and stops inhuman activities in the state,â the groupâs spokesman, Ahmed Yar Gaznavi, told the Kashmir News Service. âActivists from our Inquilab group carried out the blasts,â Gaznavi told the news agency.
Singh said the Inquilab claim had yet to be verified but, contrary to what police in Kashmir had earlier said, the group was known to police.
