The Progressive media is trying to downplay the Islamist threat. Like the Obama Boom, reality intrudes. An Al-Qaeda affiliated was behind today’s bombing of a High Court in New Delhi.

(Reuters) – A powerful bomb placed in a briefcase outside the High Court in New Delhi killed at least 11 people and wounded 76 on Wednesday in an attack authorities said was claimed by a South Asian militant group linked to al Qaeda.

The 2-kg bomb dug a crater three to four feet deep near the main reception counter where passes are issued for lawyers and visitors to enter the sprawling sandstone building before the main security checkpoint.

Authorities said they are investigating a claim of responsibility allegedly made by the Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami (HUJI) militant group — an al Qaeda affiliate with bases in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Ilyas Kashmiri, who U.S. authorities believe was recently killed in Pakistan, was the head of the group and senior al Qaeda member.

Pakistan is where this group hides out. If they didn’t have nukes, India would wipe them out. My condolences go out to the victims of this bombing.
