Mumbai, January 14
The anti-terrorism squad of the Mumbai police arrested Maulana Ghulam Yahya, a prominent Imam attached to the mosque at Haj House in downtown part of the city, for links with the Laskar-e-Toiba.
Police said Yahya coordinated with a terror cell belonging to LeT in Kashmir and was planning an attack in Mumbai.
Yahya was arrested Friday night after three LeT operatives from Kashmir held here recently provided information about him. A large number of explosives were also recovered from them.
Police said more arrests would be made as the trio has provided information of LeT’s terror network in Maharashtra.
