## Quotes

* And as expected, Delhi was a target of these terror attacks in 2008. On 13 September, several explosions shook the city, claiming 33 lives and injuring 130 others. I was present in Rajeev Chowk minutes before the explosions. Two of the bombs had gone off in that area. It was the fourth major terrorist incident that year after Jaipur, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad. The intelligence agencies had reportedly intercepted a phone call to Pakistan soon after the Ahmedabad carnage. The terrorists were heard discussing the success of the operation ‘BAD’. The acronym ‘BAD’ clearly stood for Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Delhi.

* Blasts occurred in Delhi in three places in September 2008. They were traced to the doors of some Azamagarh-based radicalised groups that were reportedly involved in these blasts. It is well reported that when the police went to investigate the same in Batla House in Shaheen Bagh, Jamia Nagar, New Delhi, these terrorists killed one of the best special cell personnel. This Inspector, Mohan Chand Sharma, had an illustrious record to his credit of neutralising sleeper cells/ fake networks etc.

* India's Home Minister Shri Shivraj Patil blamed the attack on "anti-national elements" who he said "have been trying to disturb peace and create panic among the people in various parts of the country." "The government will continue to deal firmly with such elements," Patel said in a written statement. "I am confident that security agencies will soon be able to get to the bottom of these incidents and the culprits will be brought to book."

* As was the case in UP, Jaipur and Ahmedabad, this time too there was an email from 'Indian Mujahideen', believed to be a front organisation of banned SIMI and Lashker-e-Taiba, claiming responsibility for the blasts through an e-mail sent to news organisations around the same time when the explosions occurred. Some of the bombs were kept in garbage bins. The e-mail was traced to an Internet Protocol address in Chembur in Mumbai. claiming responsibility for the serial blasts. "Indian Mujahideen strikes back once more. Within 5 minutes from now... This time with the Message of Death, dreadfully terrorising you for your sins. And thus our promise will be fulfilled. Inshallah...Do whatever you want and stop us if you can," the mail which came purportedly from 'Arbi Hindi', with the e-mail ID of al_arbi_delhi@yahoo.com, said.
