First arrests made in Indo-Pak Friendship train blasts by police in India
2007-03-15
(KUNA) -- In the first arrests in the blasts on Indo-Pak friendship train that killed 68 last month, police Wednesday arrested two suspects who had allegedly provided suitcase covers to the guerrillas behind the terror attack. One Huzaifa and another Poonam Singh Thakur were arrested today from Indore in Central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh by the Haryana Police, who claimed that the duo had supplied covers for the suitcases in which the explosives for the blasts were kept, the news agency Press Trust of India reported.

The twin blasts ripped through two coaches of Samjhauta Express near Panipat in Northern Indian state of Haryana on February 19. Huziafa and Thakur were not cooperating in the investigation, the news agency said. Haryana Police have also visited Central Indian city of Allahabad to verify details that have emerged during the investigation into the blasts. Mohammad Zakir, a blast victim, admitted to Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital, has been taken to Panipat to help in the investigation.
