New Delhi (CNN) — Police probing a deadly blast outside the Delhi High Court on Wednesday have released two sketches based on descriptions of suspects from eyewitnesses and they are focused on leads that an Islamic extremist group carried out the attack.
At least 11 people were killed Wednesday after a bomb inside a briefcase went off outside the Delhi High Court, India’s home minister told lawmakers. The home minister’s website said another 76 people were injured and officials fear the death toll will rise. It was the second explosion outside the court complex in four months.
“This is a cowardly act and we will never succumb to the pressure of terrorists,” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said during a visit to Bangladesh.
Several TV news channels received an e-mail from an Islamic extremist group Harkat-ul-Jihar-al-Islami taking responsibility for the attack.
