Two self-proclaimed local [[Islamism|Islamist]] groups, [[Lashkar-e-Taiba|Lashkar-e-Taiba al-Almi]] and the [[Indian Mujahideen|Mujahideen Islami Muslim Front]], claimed responsibility for the bombing. But, according to [[Government of India|Indian government]] agencies, the attack could have been part of a project by Lashkar-e-Taiba to use the Indian Mujahideen in what is called the "[[Karachi]] Project". [[David Headley|David Coleman Headley]], a [[Pakistani Americans|Pakistani−American]] terrorist who co-plotted the [[2008 Mumbai attacks]], has been accused of involvement in the project and bombing.
