Journo linked to terror group
Indian police on Monday arrested a journalist over his alleged ties to an outlawed Islamic group suspected of taking part in the Mumbai train bombings. However, investigator KP Raghuvanshi cautioned that the reporter, Danish Sheikh, who works for the Urdu Times, an Urdu language newspaper, is not suspected of playing any direct role in the July 11 bombings that hit Mumbai's crowded commuter rail network, killing at least 207 people.Rather, Raghuvanshi said he is suspected of assisting Students Islamic Movement of India, a banned Islamic group that authorities say may have played a role in the series of seven bomb blasts, along with militants based in Pakistan. Documents linking Sheikh with SIMI, as the group is known, were allegedly seized from his home, Raghuvanshi said. Sheikh was scheduled to appear in a Mumbai court later on Monday.
