An Islamist organisation,affiliated to Bangladesh,has claimed responsibility for the Delhi High Court blast,renewing concerns over India’s vulnerability to terror perpetrated by its neighbours.

A television channel said al-Qaeda affiliate Harkat-ul-Jihadi-al-Islami or HuJI had sent a mail,warning of more attacks unless the government repeals the death sentence to Parliament attack mastermind Afzal Guru.

A 20-member team by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing the case.

NIA chief S C Sinha said it was too premature to comment on the HuJI mail but said NIA would seriously look into it because the outfit is a very prominent terrorist group which considers India as target number one. He said there were no clear leads as of now.

The Delhi Police has also prepared two sketches of two of the blast suspects,based on eyewitness descriptions.

Incidentally,Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is on a two-day visit to Dhaka at the moment and is coming home later in the day.
