| Mumbai: Two Pakistani nationals were held in West Bengal today in connection with the seizure of huge arms and ammunitions at Aurangabad recently from suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba militants. The two suspects were brought to Mumbai today and were produced before the holiday court which remanded them to police custody. Few days ago, police had suspected involvement of a "foreign power" in the plot to bring the huge arms and ammunitions by suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives near Aurangabad. The ATS was in search of Jamiruddin Ansari who, according to the ATS, was the brain behind mobilising arms and explosives and was the only person who was in touch with the elements behind the plot. Ten persons had been arrested in the arms seizure case. Three persons Mohammed Amir, Syed Zuber and Mohammed Jamil Ahmed were held with the cache near Aurangabad. This was followed by the arrest of Abdul Azim (driver of the four-wheeler used by the suspects), Mushtaq Ahmed, Mohammed Ishaq, Javed Ahmed, Afzal Khan and Riyaz Ahmed and Dr. Mohammed Sharif. |
