Little-known Islamic Security Force-Indian Mujahideen (ISF-IM) claimed responsibility for the serial blasts that killed 77 people in Assam and warned of more such attacks.

In an SMS message sent to local 'News Live' television channel, the ISF-IM claimed responsibility for Thursday’s blasts and threatened to carry out more bomb explosions in several parts of the country.

The message said, "we thank all our holy members and partners" for successfully carrying out the task. The SMS was received on the mobile of the channel's input desk from the number 0-98646-93690.

The mobile phone was subsequently switched off and security forces traced it to Moirabari in Central Assam's Nagaon district registered in the name of one Nazir Ahmed.

Police officials are investigating the matter. The outfit was formed in 2000 in Lower Assam's Bodo-dominated areas "to counter" the Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT) and NDFB militants, police sources said. The full text of the SMS is:

"We, ISF-IM, take the responsibility of yesterday blast. We warn all of Assam and India for situation like this in future. We thank all our holy members and partners.”

Death toll touches 77

The toll in the serial blasts in Assam rose to 77 on Friday with 11 more people succumbing to their injuries overnight.

Principal Secretary (Home) and official spokesman Subhas Das said eight people died in Guwahati, which now alone accounts for 41 deaths.

Three others succumbed to their injuries in Barpeta taking the toll there to 15.

The number of deaths in Kokrajhar remained at 21, he said.

Congress and its TruthBy: Sandeep | 01-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward The way the Congress leaders are trying to protect Jehadis and Bangladeshi immigrants by going to great lengths to deny their involvement, it canot be denied that Congress may itself be a party in perpetrating this heinous blast. Everybody knows that it has been protecting Bangladeshi immigarnts, even going against the ruling of Supreme Court for this purpose. It is all the more possible because its alies like Lalu, Paswan, Mulayam openly defended SIMI whose complicity in bomb-blasts in different parts of the country stands clearly established today. Why are these people not being arrested and their political parties banned. Why Election Commission is not taking cogniscance of this fact .Where is the media sleeping. It is becoming increasingly clear that Congress and its allies are nothing but a group of opportunists who are united in their naked pursuit for political power. Such people are capable of doing anything.

Are you nuts?By: AVI | 03-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Can't you see what's going on. This is not a Hindu- Muslim issue. It's the Bangladeshi's and the Govt's attitude to protect its vote bank- is causing the issue. ISI, HUJI and many other organization are targeting to make Assam a Islamic state by 2011. To set up a base to launce anti Capitalist and Anti-Indian drive. When will you wake up for god's sake?

Another Natturam Ghodse might have sent this Message to tarnish Islam and Muslims By: Kayhan | 01-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Another Natturam Ghodse might have sent this Message to tarnish Islam and Muslims image. This is just to divert the investigation. What if someone kidnap a muslim and took his mobile and blasted and sent the sms ? there are several ways people can play mischief.
