THE terror group that ruthlessly struck at Mumbai's heart has demanded an end to persecution of Muslims and the release of militants from prison.
The previously unknown group that claimed responsibility for the attacks across Mumbai has added to the growing belief that India is confronting a home-grown Islamic militancy.
Attacks over the last year have been claimed by groups with names stressing their local origins.
Deccan Mujahedeen, which said it was responsible for the Mumbai assault on Wednesday night, takes its title from the Deccan plateau that covers much of south India.
The outfit sent emails to local media saying it carried out the attacks.
One of the gunmen holed up in the Trident hotel told the India TV channel by phone on Thursday that the little-known terror outfit wanted an end to the persecution of Indian Muslims and the release of all fellow Islamic militants detained in India.
"Muslims in India should not be persecuted. We love this as our country but when our mothers and sisters were being killed, where was everybody?" he said from inside the hotel, which was surrounded by army commandos.
A similarly shadowy group calling itself the Indian Mujahedeen claimed responsibility for serial blasts in Delhi in September, which killed 20 people, and bombings in the western city of Ahmedabad in July when 45 died.
Another group, the Islamic Security Force-Indian Mujahedeen, said it was behind explosions last month in India's north-east state of Assam that killed 80.
It is unclear whether the various groups are connected, but retired senior security official B Raman has said their chosen names were a "bid to Indianise" the Islamic militant movement.

Cato stopped when Carthage was burned to the ground and sown with salt, with all of the men killed and all of the women and children into slavery.
Plenty of ghandu crap though...
“If you don’t stop thinking of us as terrorists we will wipe out your tourist industry and slaughter as many people innocent people as we can.”
Too bad that nowhere in the whole wide world is there a MEDIA savvy enough to capture the irony here.
That's a fact. Takes a lot of work but it can be done.
Do not become furious, it spoils the aim.Excellent advice, RightWhale. Excellent.
Sigh ..........
Maybe there’s a reason we hate Islamic bullies and terrorists. Maybe killing others because they don’t believe in Allah deserves all the scorn we can muster.
It was the best bilingual pun I could come up with on short notice...
Message to terrorists: STOP trying to kill us, renounce all forms of violence, disarm completely, and then we’ll sit down and talk.
Until then, we fight!
Not too bright these mooselimbs now are they.
Course I can’t think of a thing they’ve contributed to society for the last 1000 ears or so. Cept maybe deathand killing.
Yet they want us to like their murdering asses?
Hell with them and their kind.
Are we going to sit on our asses and let these killers do this here?
Yes, we are.
*Plenty of ghandu crap though...*
actually that just about sums up the entire standoff .
Stop hating us!! I kill you!
That’s what I heard too.
My problem is which terrorist group should be wiped out first. Should it be our Islamic “friends” or should it be our “media” friends?
Islam delendo est.
I like the Mafia concept of vendetta better.
