Authorities Look at Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami, Indian Mujahedeen, and an American in Ahmedabad Bombings
by John Little on 27/07/2008It sounds like the Indian security apparatus is chasing down leads well enough:
Authorities raided an apartment rented by an American in Mumbai, 338 miles (545 km) away after tracing an e-mail that claimed responsibility for the blasts, CNN’s sister network CNN-IBN reported Sunday.
The apartment resident claimed that his Internet account had been hacked a few days ago, the television station said.
Authorities are also investigating another email sent to Muslim actors who are part of the Mumbai-based Indian film industry. The email reportedly asked them to stop working, the television station said.
No arrests have been made, although police reportedly rounded up 30 individuals in connection with the blasts, CNN-IBN added.
The network was among several media outlets to receive an e-mail, purportedly from the Muslim militant group Indian Mujahedeen, warning about an attack. The message was also sent to the country’s Intelligence Bureau. Video Watch how the media was tipped off ยป
But afterward, the Islamic militant group Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HuJi) — or the Movement of the Islamic Holy War — claimed responsibility for the bombings, CNN-IBN said.
Analysts say that cross-pollination between terror groups can make it difficult to distinguish between them.
Well, they all seem to have at least one thing in common don’t they? I’m looking forward to more details on the unnamed American with the fishy internet story.
