E-mail sent from Ghaziabad

NEW DELHI: An e-mail sent to the media on Wednesday, claiming responsibility for the Jaipur blasts, has been traced to a cyber cafe at Sahibabad in Ghaziabad. The mail sender has threatened to carry out more such strikes in different parts of the country.

The cafe owner and an employee were picked up for questioning by the Anti-Terrorist Squad of the Uttar Pradesh police on Wednesday night. During questioning, cafe owner Madhukar Mishra said the e-mail sender brought a compact disc along with him. He, however, could not give details about that person’s identity.

The police seized the computer’s hard disk.

The mail, sent through the ID “guru_alhindi_jaipur

@yahoo.co.uk” by an outfit identifying itself as “Indian Mujahideen,” had a video attachment. It showed a bag, purportedly containing a bomb, kept on the carrier of a cycle near the Kotwali Police Station.
