NEW DELHI - Two more people have been arrested in connection with the Mumbai serial blasts, the police said on Friday. Faizal Sheikh and his brother Muzammil Sheikh were arrested on Thursday night, an official of the police anti-terrorist squad said. So far eight people have been arrested in connection with the July 11 serial blasts, which killed 182 people. All the arrested are Indian Muslims. They include a software professional and a doctor. Faizal Sheikh and his brother were suspected of being motivators of the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LET), PTI news agency reported quoting Mumbai police officials. Pakistan banned the LET in 2003. Sheikh was also suspected of transferring large amounts of money into India through illegal channels, the sources said. Investigations were on to find how the funds were used. |
