A Kashmiri group known as Islamic Inquilab Mahaz, or Front for Islamic Uprising, has claimed credit for the attacks in New Delhi this past Saturday. A caller called into a New Delhi police station to inform the police who the group is and why they did it.

The caller, who identified himself as Ahmed Yaar Ghaznavi, said the bombings were “meant as a rebuff to the claims of Indian security groups” that militants had been wiped out by security crackdowns and the earthquake that devastated the insurgents’ heartland in the mountains of Kashmir.

According to the caller, the attack was in part due to Indian intelligence analysts believing the earthquake devestated some of the radical Islamic groups in the area. That’s certainly interesting. It appears as if it was a message not to pay attention to the group’s demands or cave into their will, but to just recognize they exist.
