The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;2011 Delhi bombing&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; took place in the [[India]]n capital [[Delhi]] on Wednesday, 7 September 2011 at 10:14 local time outside Gate No. 5 of the [[Delhi High Court]], where a suspected briefcase bomb was planted.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Terror strikes Delhi again, 11 dead in HC blast|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/terror-strikes-delhi-again-11-dead-in-hc-blast/182165-3.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121017164828/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/terror-strikes-delhi-again-11-dead-in-hc-blast/182165-3.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=17 October 2012|publisher=[[CNN-IBN]]|date=7 September 2011|access-date=7 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The blast killed 15 people and injured 79.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, a low-intensity blast also occurred at the High Court outside Gate No. 7 on 25 May with no reported casualties.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Minor explosion outside Delhi High Court, no casualties|url=http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/minor-explosion-outside-delhi-high-court-108112|publisher=[[NDTV]]|date=25 May 2011|access-date=8 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The attack took place while Indian [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[Manmohan Singh|M.Singh]] was on a historic two-day official state visit to [[Bangladesh]], to discuss [[Bangladesh–India relations]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/246975/at-least-24-injured-in-new-delhi-court-blast/|title=India probing bomb claim by Harkatul Jihad Islami|work=Express Tribune|date=7 September 2011|access-date=7 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The attack also happened less than two months after [[2011 Mumbai bombings|bombings in Mumbai]] on 13 July which killed 26 people.&lt;br /&gt;

The blast took place at 10:14 IST on 7 September 2011. Explosives were placed in a briefcase at the high court reception where hundreds of people throng every day to attend court cases, home secretary R.K. Singh said to reporters.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Black Wednesday: Blast at Delhi high court kills 11, injures 76&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Black Wednesday: Blast at Delhi high court kills 11, injures 76|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-09-07/india/30122590_1_powerful-blast-delhi-high-court-explosion|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120720120434/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-09-07/india/30122590_1_powerful-blast-delhi-high-court-explosion|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 July 2012|access-date=7 September 2011|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=7 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; According to the special secretary in the Home Ministry, two kilos of explosives were used, with [[ammonium nitrate]] and [[Pentaerythritol tetranitrate|PETN]] to cause considerable damage even though used in a small amount.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Delhi court blast: 11 dead, 74 injured&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Delhi court blast: 11 dead, 74 injured|url=http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/delhi-court-blast-11-dead-74-injured-sketches-of-suspect-released-132067|access-date=7 September 2011|newspaper=NDTV|date=7 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Responsibility==&lt;br /&gt;
According to reports immediately following the blasts, responsibility for the bombings was claimed by the [[Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami]] (HuJI) group.&amp;lt;ref name=express1&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/terror-attack-powerful-blast-outside-de.../842951/|title=Terror attack: Powerful blast outside Delhi High Court kills 11|publisher=Indian Express|date=7 September 2011|access-date=7 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In an email attributed to HuJI, the group is alleged to have demanded that [[Afzal Guru|Mohammed Afzal Guru]], convicted for the [[2001 Indian Parliament attack]], should not be hanged as ordered by the Supreme Court.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;#039;toi20110907&amp;#039;&amp;gt;{{cite news | first = Vishwa | last = Mohan | title = HuJI claims responsibility for Delhi high court blast | date= 7 September 2011| url = http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-09-07/india/30122504_1_huji-harkat-ul-jihad-delhi-high-court | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121106104413/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-09-07/india/30122504_1_huji-harkat-ul-jihad-delhi-high-court | url-status = dead | archive-date = 6 November 2012 | work = [[The Times of India]] | access-date= 7 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, [[Afzal Guru]] strongly denied any such link to the attack, and said that his name was being &amp;quot;unnecessarily&amp;quot; dragged into the &amp;quot;cowardly act&amp;quot; which &amp;quot;must be condemned by all&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/afzal-guru-denies-link-to-delhi-blast-132619|title=Afzal Guru denies link to Delhi blast|publisher=NDTV|date=9 September 2011|access-date=11 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A day after this email, another email was sent by the [[Indian Mujahideen]] to television media, allegedly claiming that the attack was carried out by IM and not HuJI and also threatened it would carry out more attacks on shopping complexes on the coming Tuesday.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;#039;toi20110907_2&amp;#039;&amp;gt;{{cite news | first = Neeraj | last = Chauhan | title = Indian Mujahideen claims Delhi blast, says it will hit market next Tuesday | date= 9 September 2011| url =http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-09-09/india/30134439_1_huji-mail-im-emails-new-email | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20120315084245/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-09-09/india/30134439_1_huji-mail-im-emails-new-email | url-status =dead | archive-date =15 March 2012 | work = [[The Times of India]] | access-date= 9 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 10 September, the Indian Union [[Ministry of Home Affairs (India)|Home Secretary]] stated that it was not necessary that the emails claiming responsibility for the Delhi High Court blast were sent by the actual perpetrators and added that it could have been other people who, when they heard about the blast, sent the emails.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title = Delhi blast emails can be fake: Home secretary| date= 10 September 2011| url = http://www.hindustantimes.com/Delhi-blast-emails-can-be-fake-Home-secretary/Article1-744063.aspx | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110910213514/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Delhi-blast-emails-can-be-fake-Home-secretary/Article1-744063.aspx | url-status = dead | archive-date = 10 September 2011 | publisher = Hindustan Times | access-date= 11 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On 4 September 2012, a special NIA court in New Delhi found sufficient [[prima facie]] evidence against Malik under [[Indian Penal Code]] provisions dealing with criminal conspiracy, murder and attempt to murder and various terror charges. However, the court dropped the charges dealing with waging war against the nation and conspiracy and collecting arms to wage a war against the nation.
