An organization calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen has claimed responsibility for attacks in Mumbai India that have killed at least  110 people and wounded over 250.

The group sent an email to news organizations claiming responsibility. Here’s part of the email they sent out:

You should know that your acts are not at all left unnoticed; rather we are closely keeping an eye on you and just waiting for the right time to execute your bloodshed. We are aware of your recent raids at Ansarnagar, Mograpada in Andheri and the harassment and trouble you created there for the Muslims

You threatened to murder them and your mischief went to such an extent that you even dared to abuse and insult Maulana Mahmood-ul-Hasan Qasmi and even misbehaved with the Muslim women and children there.

If this is the degree your arrogance has reached, and if you think that by these stunts you can scare us, then let the Indian Mujahideen warn all the people of Mumbai that whatever deadly attacks Mumbaikars will face in future, their responsibility would lie with the Mumbai ATS and their guardians - Vilasrao Deshmukh and R R Patil. You are already on our hit-list and this time very very seriously.

The Deccan Mujahideen claimed responsibility for bombings in Jaipur in May.

Dear friends, this was the mail sent by Indian Mujahideen after terrorist attacks in Mumbai, earlier this year. N to the astonishment of all, they've executed wat they've said in this email. I believe that it's just the same organisation, or group of people who r operating under different names...

The email issued from the islamic militant group Deccan Mujahideen claiming responsibility for November 25, 2008 attacks in Mumbai actually mentions the group 'Indian Mujahideen' (and not Deccan Mujahideen). Maybe they are the same or a splinter group. The contents of this email are mysteriously similar to an email threat issued by the Indian Mujahideen group against Mumbai back in September 14, 2008 and published in a reputable Indian news daily - India Today. The real question is how seriously were these threats taken by the Indian authorities.

Here are the links to both of these emails-
