Ahmedabad attack e-mail traced to Mumbai

An e-mail was sent to authorities that stated further threats to India and other countries that were labeled as "against Allah's will." by the letter from the Mujahideen.

Preliminary indications pointed to the involvement of SIMI activists from Maharashtra. The email from Indian Mujahideen which reached the media five minutes before the first of the 17 bombs went off in Ahmedabad, was sent from the Yahoo mail account of alarbi_ gujarat through an internet connection used in the name of Camp Kell White.

The IP address was traced to one Kenith Heywood, C-1503/1504 Gunina CHS Plot, Sector 2&3, 16 A, Sampada, Mumbai. Investigators suspect the sender could be living at the Mumbai address as a tenant.


The terrorists also attempt to emphasize that they are Indian muslims which still cannot be verified. Either they might be geniune or this might be an attempt to incite further communal violence.

Significantly, the email also takes great pains to emphasize the alleged local origin of the gang that attacked Ahmedabad on Saturday.

"We the terrorists of India - the Indian Mujahideen - the militia of Islam whose each and every Mujahid belongs to this very soil of India, have returned to execute the compulsion of Allah".


It is also due to people like this who try to mislead the masses that there are events of communal violence. This is almost obviously an attempt to incite communal violence in India following this terrorist attack.
