MUMBAI - Indian security agencies arrested three people in Kishtwar of northwest Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday morning by tracing the origin of an email claiming responsibility for a blast at high court in New Delhi one day earlier.

Included are Khawja Mehmood Aziz, an Internet caf owner, and his brother Khalid Aziz, said local media report.

Multi media organizations received an email Wednesday shortly after the deadly blast, alleging from terrorist group Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HuJI).
