Police in Indian-ruled Kashmir on Wednesday arrested two teenage students suspected of sending an email claiming responsibility for a bomb blast in New Delhi. The email, which said the Pakistan-based militant group Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HuJI) carried out the September 7 attack, was traced to an Internet cafe in Kishtwar, near the Kashmiri city of Jammu. Police, who identified the two students as Abid Hussain and Sharik Butt, said investigators were unable to confirm whether the email was a genuine claim or a hoax. He said the arrests were made a few days ago. The two, both aged 17 or 18, were tracked down after questioning of the Internet cafe owners and people using its computers when the email was sent.
