India welcomes US 'terror' label for Indian Mujahideen
"The US designation reflects our shared commitment to combat terrorism," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Vishnu Prakash.
Indian Mujahideen has claimed responsibility for numerous bomb attacks in Indian cities in recent years, and is one of the suspects in the investigation into a blast earlier this month outside the Delhi High Court that left 14 dead.
Announcing the addition of Indian Mujahideen to its terror list on Thursday, the US State Department noted the outfit's "close ties" with Pakistan-based militant groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba -- blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
The Indian Mujahideen "is responsible for dozens of bomb attacks throughout India since 2005, and has caused the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians," it said.

@Bangash: Yes we know you write best conspiracy theory and you are next to zaid hamid. But just wait. we already have zaid hamid for this job. yes wait for your turn.
Indian Mujahideen is a fake group created by Indian govt that conveniently sends emails to media outlets every time there is an attack. India has found a clever way to still blame Pakistan for terrorism while engaged in a peace process with it.
Devious Indians.
