NEW DELHI — A coordinated series of explosions struck a park and crowded shopping areas across the Indian capital Saturday evening, killing at least 18 people and wounding at least 61 more, officials said. A Muslim militant group claimed responsibility for the bombings.
A number of Indian media outlets received an e-mail sent just before the blasts warning that India was about to receive "the Message of Death."
"In the name of Allah, Indian Mujahideen strikes back once more. ... Do whatever you can. Stop us if you can," said the message.
All of the bombs exploded in, or very near, crowded shopping areas in various parts of New Delhi. They began going off just before sundown — prime time for weekend shoppers in this crowded, chaotic city. Police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said there had been five explosions, though Mayor Arti Mehra said there had been as many as seven, and that at least 61 people had been wounded.
