The Mumbai police have received a threat email warning of bomb blasts at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and the iconic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, claiming that the death sentence for the Parliament attack mastermind Afzal Guru was unjust.
Afzal Guru, the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist, was hanged on February 9, 2013, for his role in the 2011 terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament.
