Scene of New Delhi Bombing

Five small bombs ripped through several crowded markets in the span of 25 minutes Saturday in the Indian capital, killing at least 22 people and injuring more than 90.

The bombs were placed in trash cans and on bicycles in a downtown park and bazaars teeming with weekend shoppers. The attack was the 12th in India since October 2005.

“Whoever has done this, they are enemies of humanity and enemies of India,” said Home Affairs Minister Shivraj Patil, who appealed for calm. “They want to destroy peace in our society. . . . We will take the toughest action against them.”

A little-known group, the Indian Mujahideen, asserted responsibility for the attack in an e-mail sent to several media offices.

“Within five minutes from now . . . this time with the Message of Death, dreadfully terrorizing you for your sins,” the e-mail said. “And thus our promise will be fulfilled, Inshallah.” The message also challenged security agencies, saying, “Do whatever you want and stop us if you can.”
