The email has three video attachments shot by a mobile phone camera, thesources said.

While the first video of three seconds shows a brand new cycle, the twoothers of four seconds each focus on a new cycle parked in a two-wheeler standwith its carrier having a blue bag purportedly carrying a bomb.

The email said, "Jaipur has been chosen to blow up your tourismstructure....". It then reportedly went on to say that the blasts were triggered to demolish people's faith in the 'dirtymuds' in the name of Hanuman, Sita, and Ram

The email also warned the US and the UK: "Don't send your people to India and if you do so then your people will bewelcomed by our suicide attackers."

It referred to an earlier electronic message sent while the blasts in courtpremises in three cities in Uttar Pradesh took place in November last year. Thatemail was traced back to a cyber cafe in East Delhi but nothing could beestablished beyond that, the sources said.

The email claimed that Indian Mujahideen had formed three wings -- ShahbuddinGouri Brigade (for South India), Mahmood Gaznavi Brigade (for North India) andShaheed Al-Zarqawi Brigade (suicide attackers) -- to target various cities inthe country, and also warned senior Bharatiya Janata Party leaders Lal Krishna Advani, Narendra Modi and Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray.
