GRAPHIC, al-Qaeda inspired group Bombs New Delhi courthouse killing 11 injuring 76 (raw footage)

NEW DELHI — Police in India detained three men for questioning in Kashmir Thursday in connection with a bombing at a New Delhi court complex Wednesday that killed 11 people and injured at least 76, the Associated Press reported.

The blast, from a bomb hidden in a briefcase, occurred outside the reception area of the Delhi High Court complex during the morning rush hour, shortly after 10 a.m

In an e-mail received by an Indian news television station, a Pakistan-based group called Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami asserted responsibility for the blast. The
e-mail said the al-Qaeda-inspired group, which also has cells in India and Bangladesh, would target several courts across India, including the Supreme Court, unless authorities immediately rescinded the death sentence of Afzal Guru, a Kashmiri convicted for his role in a 2001 attack on India's Parliament.

A clemency petition from Afzal was recently rejected.

Security officials said they were examining the e-mail's authenticity. "This could even be a smoke screen, maybe meant to distract us," one intelligence official said. The official said the Harkat-ul-Jehadi cell in Kashmir has been weakened because of a series of arrests and surrenders.

Early Thursday, police in Kashmir said investigators had traced the e-mail to an Internet cafe in Kishtwar, in Kashmir, and they detained three residents of the town for questioning, including the owner of an Internet cafe.

A security official in Kashmir said the two-line e-mail was sent three hours after the bomb blast in New Delhi, by an 18-year-old man. An assistant at the cyber cafe told the official that the sender of the e-mail spoke a local dialect that indicated that he was from Kishtwar.

Authorities also were searching various locations in Kishtwar for clues, the Associated Press reported.

Also Thursday, the Indian news station Headlines Today received an e-mail from an indigenous militant group, called Indian Mujahadeen, which also claimed responsibility for the attack. Indian Mujahadeen is accused of carrying out a series of bombings in several cities since 2007. The news channel said it sent the e-mail to the Home Ministry for verification.

India's top internal security official, U.K. Bansal, said preliminary investigation of the blast site turned up traces of nitrate-based explosives and pentaerythritol tetranitrate, known as PETN, which he called "the explosive of choice for terrorists."

Unlike in some earlier attacks, Indian officials and police appeared reluctant to jump to conclusions or point a finger immediately at Muslim groups or neighboring Pakistan, with which New Delhi began a fragile peace process this year. In 2007, India was quick to blame Pakistan for a train bombing, but a subsequent investigation pointed to the involvement of radical Hindu groups based in India.

"There is a directive that has gone out that we will not name anyone in a hurry. It is because of the earlier mess-ups," said the intelligence official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. He also said that there have been no substantial leads in any of the seven attacks across India since last summer.NEW DELHI — Police in India detained three men for questioning in Kashmir... more

Oslo Police Conducted Bombing Exercise Days Before Terrorist Blast

http://mobil.aftenposten.no/article.htm?articleId=3569108

VIDEO AT LINK!!!!!

In yet another example of how almost every major terror event is accompanied by a security drill focused around the same scenario, Oslo police were conducting a bombing exercise at a location near the Oslo Opera House just 48 hours before a terrorist blast hit a government building in the Norwegian capital.

According to the translated version of an Aftenposten report, “Anti-terror police fired explosive charges at a training center in Oslo, two hundred meters from the Opera, but forgot to notify the public.”

The exercise occurred on Wednesday and revolved around anti-terror units attacking a disused building at the edge of Bjørvika pier with bombs and firearms.

“The men lowered themselves down from the roof and in through the window that had just been blown out, while they fired hand their weapons,” states the report, noting that the exercise was “dramatic,” produced “violent bangs,” and was watched by spectators at the nearby Opera House.

A video of the drill that accompanies the story shows police scaling the side of a building with an explosion going off below them before they enter the window and start firing.

Police had to publicly apologize today for not informing the public about the exercise.

Although it’s too early to judge the nature of this exercise, the fallback of a drill, which gives the state an excuse should any evidence of complicity in the real attack emerge, has been evident in previous major terror events, including both 7/7 and 9/11.

In the case of the London bombings, a consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th, a “coincidence” many skeptics of the official story have dismissed as a statistical impossibility.

Libyan teen tries to take own life to escape NATO bombs

The conflict in Libya has no end in sight, as NATO intensifies airstrikes and increases what it calls “efforts to protect people.” It is those “efforts” that made a Libyan teenager choose death over life in a war-torn country.

NATO has frequently claimed success in the military operation supposed to “protect civilians”. But the Libyan government has repeatedly protested that innocent civilians have been among the dead. Gaddafi's government claims more civilian deaths have been caused by coalition aggression – over 30 this week alone.

The claims have not been independently verified, but one thing is clear – since March 19 the life of ordinary Libyans has changed forever.

Salma Abubaker Shtoot has been within a hair’s breadth of death. But doctors have performed a near-miracle and the young girl is back home with her family.

The 13-year-old took her mother’s pills to kill herself.She says: “If someone wants to kill me – I’d better do it myself.”

But who wants to kill the teenager?

Salma’s native city, Tripoli, has been under constant bombardment by NATO forces for three months. One of NATO’s bombs, supposed to target Gaddafi’s military arsenal, actually landed in the district where her family lives. It did not destroy the colonel’s compound but it almost wiped out a family.

Day and night, bombs have been falling on the city with a population of around a million. No- one can ever say when or where the next one will land. This week, in the most intensive air raid yet, there have been 60 NATO airstrikes in just ten hours.

Salma’s mother, Rahima Suan, will never forget the day when her daughter preferred death to this new way of life.

“My girl told me before that she thought death is a good thing. When I entered her room that day, she was lying on the floor. There was smoke everywhere, I could hardly see what happened but I realized immediately – something terrible happened. … This is not fair. They told us they want a no-fly zone, they never said they were going to bomb us. They promised to protect us, but instead they scare us,” she said.
