Indos pick up al-Qaeda controller
Indian Home Minister L K Advani said a man arrested in Bombay on suspicion of being linked with Al-Qaeda had confessed to plans to carry out suicide attacks in Britain, Australia and India after September 11. "The Al-Qaeda had plans to not only attack the United States but also for similar attacks on Britain, Australia and the Indian parliament," the minister said. Advani said the arrested man said he had learned to fly planes in Australia and in Britain. The United States has reversed sanctions it imposed on India for conducting nuclear tests in 1998 as a result of a strengthened bilateral cooperation to combat terrorism. Washington has agreed to resume sales of arms to India and step up military cooperation, after two days of talks in New Delhi with Indian officials.
