The militant outfit Indian Mujahideen has claimed responsibility of Delhi serial blast which went up on Saturday evening leaving at least 18 dead and scores injured.
Reportedly, in an e-mail to a private news channel the militant organisation that had earlier taken responsibility of July 26 Ahmedabad serial bombings made this claim, though the police is unsure about its involvement.
Meanwhile, the police had said that that they didn’t have any prior intelligence input on these blasts.
As per reports, the Islamic militant group had sent a mail to Zee News, which claimed that nine blasts would be strike Delhi within five minutes. The mail was sent by ‘Arbi Hind’ from the email id al-arbi_delhi@yahoo.com.
The five blasts that rocked the national capital in different busy market places have so far claimed 18 lives and injured over 100. The injured have been immediately rushed to the nearest Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital.
The blasts at Ghaffar market in Karol Bagh, Connaught Place and Greater Kailash took place in a quick succession, police said.
The first blast took place at Ghaffar market at 6.10 p.m. in which at least 20 people were injured.
Immediately after that, two explosions took place in Connaught Place in which at least 10 people were injured.
Another explosion rocked M-Block market in Greater Kailash-I.
Senior Police officials including Joint Commissioner of Police Karnail Singh had rushed to the spot in the central district and were assessing the situation.

September 14, 2008 at 12:00 AMAs far i know know and i did some reserch work... hyphen (-) is not allowed in yahoo if you make email. So is terrorist had some special previlage from yahoo or Zee New are creating their own news... Mr. Zee news reporte, be smart. :P
The serial blasts that occurred in Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad highlight the importance of security for Wi-Fi networks. Terrorists had hacked into a Wi-Fi network to send terror emails much before the actual blasts in Ahmedabad. One such other case was of the recent bomb blast in Delhi. The email was sent from Mumbai using an unsecured wi-fi connection of Ms Kamran Power Private Limited in Chembur, owned by a person named Kamat.Such terror mail through Wi-Fi devices or using a proxy server normally cannot be traced without a security device deployed in the network.
Engineers of Cyberoam, which makes UTM Firewall security appliances, helped cops track down the culprits in one such case of Ahmedabad blast on 26th July. The Waghodia Dental Institute in Gujarat happened to have Cyberoam deployed. And when one of the terror mails announcing the Ahmedabad blasts was sent from the institute?s network through a proxy server, Cyberoam helped zero in on the IP Address of the computer from where the mails were sent.
The flip side is that Cyberoam could have identified the name of the person who had sent the mail. Unfortunately, the institute hadn?t turned on Cyberoam?s identity feature which incidentally, is available only on the Cyberoam security appliances. Increasingly identifying the user has become critical to security - whether in organizations, public networks or cyber cafes.
