A bomb that may have been hidden in a briefcase killed at least 11 people and injured 47 outside New Delhi’s High Court, the worst attack in India’s capital in three years.
Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram told parliament it was too early to identify those who carried out the bombing. Intelligence agencies had warned Delhi police in July of a risk of a terrorist attack “emanating from certain groups,” he said. Authorities have received a claim of responsibility from the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami militant group, the Press Trust of India reported.
