The arrests came amid tight security in the Indian capital ahead of New Year festivities. "We received a tip-off that the two men would be coming by train from Jammu (the winter capital of Indian Kashmir)," Mr Singh said. "We detained them and during interrogation they admitted to being members of the Lashkar, and their plan was to plant two explosive devices."In their luggage, a bomb disposal squad found two boxes with the toys - a toy duck and a toy bus - filled with explosives, he said. "It took the squad around three hours to deactivate the two bombs."
Lashkar-e-Taiba, one of several groups battling Indian rule in Kashmir, was blamed for the October 29, 2005 triple bomb attacks in New Delhi, just ahead of the main Hindu festival of Diwali. Those attacks killed 66 and injured at least 200 others. The group was also blamed for the July 11 commuter train attacks in Mumbai this year that killed 186 people and injured about 800. New Delhi has been under a security blanket for the past week ahead of New Year festivities and in the run-up to the country's 58th Republic Day celebrations on January 26.
