IM's 4th mail warns of major attack in Ahmedabad

September 09, 2011 21:50 IST

It's "Chotoo" again from Indian Mujahideen with a fresh mail after the Delhi high court blast warning that the next attack would be at a crowded place in Ahmedabad. The mail sent to media houses in Delhi and Mumbai also claimed that the third mail sent from killindian@yahoo.com had been deciphered correctly that Indian Mujahideen will be carrying out another attack in Ahmedabad.

The fresh email was sent from the same gmail id "chotoominani5@gmail.com" on Friday evening at 6:39 pm from which an electronic message was received on Thursday. It claimed that Indian Mujahideen had carried out the high court blast after a lot of consideration and also challenged the National Investigation Agency and Delhi police to trace the mails.

The mail also claimed that the third email received by Delhi police headquarters was "correct and updated". On Thursday media houses in Mumbai and Delhi received a mail purportedly written by "Chotoo" of the Indian Mujahideen who claimed responsibility for the Delhi blast and warned that another blast will take place at a shopping mall.

The mail sent from "chotoominani5@gmail.com" was received at 12:37 pm claiming that Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islami had no role to play in the blasts and it was done by the Indian Mujahideen.

The mail also reasoned that they had chosen Wednesday as the day of the blast as it was a busy day for the high court. The Delhi high court hears public interest litigations on Wednesday.

The mail claimed that another blast will take place at a shopping mall. "We are examining the email received by media housesÂ…about its authenticity and veracity and (we are) taking it seriously," Secretary (internal security) in the home ministry U K Bansal told reporters.
