Plot to bomb Bengaluru foiled; LeT operative held
May 08, 2012 13:16 IST
The Bengaluru police has nabbed a Lashkar-e-Tayiba operative named Syed Akbar.
A team of the Bengaluru police, which had been camping in Bihar, on Tuesday returned with Akbar, who they say had planned to carry out a series of explosions in the city.
The police say that information regarding Akbar emerged through the interrogation of an Indian Mujahideen operative Kamal Hasan who has been in custody for the past three weeks.
The police claim that Akbar is a major catch as he was running a module, which was assigned the task of preparing the bombs in Bihar.
