Delhi Blast : Chidambaram Hints At Homegrown Terror Group

New Delhi, Sep 14: Even as the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday doubled the reward money to Rs 10 lakh for any information on the Delhi High Court blast, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram has hinted at the involvement of homegrown terror groups.

Speaking to BBC, Chidambaram has said it is likely that the Delhi High Court blast was carried out by militants based in India. “We can no longer point to cross-border terrorism as a source of terror attacks in India,” he said. Regarding the Mumbai and Pune attacks, he said “we are fairly certain they were carried out by Indian modules or India-based modules.”

“That threat (Pakistan) remains — but we must also look at Indian modules or India-based modules which are capable of carrying out terror attacks. The government can build capacity and extend the intelligence network, but policing is a very complex task and there will be cases where the terrorist is able to slip through the cracks,” he told BBC.
