IM copied threat mail?

Now police are scrutinising the email which was purportedly sent by banned terror outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) to some media organisations, claiming responsibility for the strikes and warned of more attacks ahead of the Games. Delhi police special cell is tracking the path of the mail and is examining the content. In the last one month they have checked the transcript of the mail and found it matching to the content on a Kashmiri website. This is the same pattern which was observed in threat mail sent by IM after the Delhi blasts where the transcript was copied from the media website https://www.hoot.com/.

"After examining the content of the email we have found that the transcript is an exact copy of the content on the website https://www.kashmir-issue.com/. So we are closely observing the details of the traffic which came to the site between August and October," said a police source.

"We have contacted the moderator of the website to find out if they can help us in providing some detail about the IPs from which the website was accessed. This mail was drafted very smartly and after thorough research," he added.

The transcript, which is there on the website and in the IM mail, mentions Pandit Nehru and Kashmir. "On 27 October 1947, the day the Indian Army officially intervened in the Kashmir dispute, Jawaharlal Nehru sent the following telegram to Liaquat Ali Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan: 'I should like to make it clear that the question of aiding Kashmir in this emergency is not designed in any way to influence the State to accede to India.

Our view which we have repeatedly made public is that the question of accession in any disputed territory or State must be decided in accordance with the wishes of people and we adhere to this view.' Four days leater Jawaharlal Nehru declared that:our assurance that we shall withdraw our troops from Kashmir as soon as peace and order are restored and leave the decision regarding the future of the State to the people is not merely a pledge to your Government but also to the people of Kashmir and to the world," reads the transcript.u00a0
The five-page e-mail, sent at 1:37 pm on Sunday, September 18, "dedicates" the attack to the "martyrdom" of Mohammed Atif Amin and Mohammad Sajid, two years to the day at Batla House in Delhi.


TRIGGER EFFECT

Two gunmen on a motorcycle opened random fire at one of the entrances to the Jama Masjid, leaving two Taiwanese tourists wounded and sparking panic, police and shrine officials said.
The attackers fired at least 10 rounds from an automatic weapon at a group of tourists alighting from a bus outside the mammoth 16th century mosque in the city's old quarters, witnesses said.
Shahi Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari called it a terror attack which he said was aimed at keeping away foreigners from the capital ahead of the October 3-14 Commonwealth Games. The gunmen escaped through the narrow lanes ringing the Jama Masjid.
