[1]

Three weeks after a bomb blast outside the Delhi High Court left 15 people dead and over 80 injured, there were no suspects or accused in the case yet, Home Minister P. Chidambaram confirmed here on Friday.

Chidambaram told reporters that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had some promising leads on the case, but no confirmed accused or suspects.

"Promising leads, yes. Confirmed accused or suspects, no...not yet," he said at his monthly briefing on the home ministry's report card on Friday.

He was asked if there was any breakthrough in the Delhi blast on Sep 7 and the Mumbai triple blasts of July 13 that left 27 dead and several hundreds injured.

There were several e-mail claims of responsibility from militant groups like the Indian Mujahideen and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami.
