A bomb outside the high court in the Indian capital, Delhi, has killed 11 people and injured at least 61.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called it a "cowardly act of a terrorist nature". The bomb was apparently placed in a case near the first security checkpoint at the court, where people were queuing for passes, officials said.

Investigators said they were taking seriously an email claim by the extremist group Harkat-ul Jihad al-Islami (Huji) that it planted the bomb."It would be very premature to make any comment on the mail at this stage, but yes, that mail has to be looked at seriously, because Huji is a very prominent terrorist group," SC Sinha, Director General of India's National Investigation Agency, told reporters.
The email reportedly demands that a man sentenced to death for involvement in an attack on the Indian parliament 10 years ago should not be hanged.

My condolences to the victims and their families.

Religious fundies at it again. Bomb blast to prevent Justice being done to a Bomber who killed many 10 years ago! ain't that rich.
There cannot be any negotiation with religious extremists, because its impossible to reason with people drugged on fundamentalism (regardless of religion).
