Terror email traced to Kishtwar, cafe owner among 3 detained

Jammu (J&K), Sept 8 (PTI) Investigators have traced the
HuJI email claiming responsibility for the blast outside the
Delhi High Court to a cybercafe in Kishtwar and detained
three persons in this connection on Thursday including the
cafe owner.
Cyber cafe owner Mehmood Khawja was detained along with
two others for questioning in connection with the Delhi Blast,
police officials said.
They are being interrogated in connection with the email,
they said.
One of the detained persons has been identified as
Khalid.
Policemen in plainclothes have been deputed outside the
cafe in Kishtwar town and are keeping a close watch on the
movement of people.
DGP Kuldeep Khoda earlier said, "We are investigating
the email link from Kishtwar district in connection with the
Delhi blast".
"We are probing whether there is any link or not with
the email from Kishtwar", he said, adding police is working
on it.
The email was sent from a cyber cafe in Kishtwar from
the address harkat-uljihadi2011@gmail.com.
The outfit had on Wednesday claimed responsibility for
the blast outside the Delhi High Court which killed 12 people.
"We own responsibility of the blast at the High Court,
Delhi. Our demand is that Afzal Guru's death sentence should
be repealed immediately as we would target major High Courts
and the Supreme Court of India," the HuJI email said.
Secretary (Internal Secretary) in the Home Ministry, U K
Bansal had said on Wednesday that the NIA is also verifying
the authenticity of the email received by two media channels.
Asked about the communication received by TV channels,
Director General of NIA S C Sinha had said, "It is too
premature to comment on the HuJI mail but we are looking at it
seriously because HuJI is a very prominent terrorist group
which considers India as target number one."
Delhi Police has in the past arrested several HuJI
militants from the national capital.
