At least 11 people were killed today and 91 others wounded when a briefcase bomb was detonated outside of the Delhi High Court building. The victim were gathering to enter one of the court’s checkpoints.
An email sent from a gmail account claimed the attack for the group Harkat-ul Jihad al-Islami (HuJI), and officials say they are taking the claim seriously. The group has carried out a number of attacks across India in recent years.
Originally, HuJI was one of the groups fighting against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, but expanded into Indian Kashmir and the nation’s eastern states after the war. The group’s leader, Ilyas Kashmiri, was reported slain in a June US drone strike, but this was never actually confirmed.
The attack immediately sparked criticism of the Delhi police, which added a number of security measures aimed at avoiding terror attacks, but which in this case appears to have left large numbers of innocent civilians milling about in front of the courthouse waiting for permission to enter.

NEW DELHI: In December 2009, national security adviser M K Narayanan had told then US ambassador to India Timothy Roemer that New Delhi's demand for extraditing Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley was mere posturing to mislead the Indian public, and the government was not seeking his extradition "at this time".
A secret cable – which is part of the latest tranche of diplomatic correspondence released by the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks – sent a day after Narayanan's telephonic conversation with Roemer on December 16, 2009 said the Indian government would be "in the hot seat if it were seen as relinquishing extradition" of the Lashkar-e-Taiba operative.
Narayanan said that it was "difficult not to be seen making the effort". He was responding to a demand by Roemer that India should refrain from requesting Headley's extradition.
The government of American stooge manmoahn singh often complains that there isn't enough money to feed all the poor, yet will extends corporate tax concessions worth billions of rupees. It talks about having to stop food wastage in order to be able to address hunger, when it allows millions of tons of food grains to rot in warehouses or be eaten by rats. If there is a shortage of food grains, it should halt their export for use as cattlefeed in Europe. Besides, why were farmers pushed from growing grains to cash crops?
The government's attitude to hunger, starvation and famine is to simply deny it.
In Maharashtra, for instance, it sought to end hunger altogether "without adding a morsel to anyone's diet. It simply passed an Act that deletes the word "famine" from all legislation in the state. By defining "a problem out of existence … a government kills its own responsibility towards citizens, mainly poor and hungry ones, in times of crisis," Sainath argues.
Some years ago, it emerged that poverty stricken tribals in Rajasthan had taken to eating wild grass to fend off hunger but died since the grass was hard to digest.
India, like Empire USA, has a most corrupt democratic dictatorship, where the 51% highest achievers have democracy and all the wealth, where this 51% criminal ruling class use democracy as a smokescreen to hide their dictator mentality.
The CIA was busy yesterday, it seems. I'm sure that they left enough clues behind to pin it on the Afghans though.
