E-mail warns of more attacks

Mumbai: The Mumbai police have traced an e-mail sent to a TV news channel by a little-known militant group Lashkar-e-Qahhar, which claimed responsibility for the July 11 blasts, to Indore in Madhya Pradesh, a senior police official said here.

The e-mail from `Jack Smith' claimed that the blasts had been executed by a 16-member team of the group and that it lost one of its members in the explosion. It warned that there would be more attacks of a similar nature.

A senior Crime Branch official told PTI that it would take some time to identify the exact place from where the mail originated. "It is most likely to be an Internet cafe and we will have to identify the sender.'' He did not rule out the possibility of the e-mail being a prank but said investigations were on to establish the truth. Commenting on the claim that one of the attackers was killed in the blast, the official said all bodies except one were identified. — PTI
