Mumbai:
Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjeev Dayal Wednesday said that the
e-mails claiming responsibility for the Varanasi blast of Tuesday
evening were tracked to Navi Mumbai.
"The e-mails have been sent after hacking an unsecured WiFi
(wireless internet) connection of Vashi township in Navi Mumbai, not
from Mumbai's western suburb Malad," Dayal told reporters.
Banned terrorist outfit Indian Mujahideen in its e-mails sent to
media houses claimed the responsibility for the Tuesday evening bomb
blast in Varanasi, which killed a two-year-old girl and injured over
20 other people.
Mumbai Police earlier detained two people, but they were released
after questioning.
Maharashtra Home Minister R.R. Patil said: "Primary investigations
show that the e-mails have been sent from areas around Mumbai. I
would request WiFi users to secure their connections so that
terrorist outfits cannot break into them."
A two-year-old girl was killed and over 20 people, including a few
foreigners, were injured when a bomb exploded on the bank of the
Ganga during Tuesday evening's 'maha aarati' watched by hundreds.
In an e-mail to media houses soon after the blast, the Indian
Mujahideen said: "Indian Mujahideen attribute(s) this attack to the
6th of December that will haunt your nation of world's ‘greatest
demoNcracy' until Muslims are paid back justly and fairly for the
loss of their beloved Babri Masjid, the precious lives of their near
and dear ones, their pride, dignity and self-respect."
