Delhi blasts’ mastermind behind Mumbai explosions
Two Pakistan nationals arrested in Nepal

Mumbai, July 13
The mastermind behind the pre-Diwali blasts in Delhi in October last, Rahil, a Lashkar-e-Toiba operative, is suspected to be the brain behind Tuesday’s serial explosions in Mumbai’s suburban trains, police sources said today.

The Mumbai police has shortlisted Rahil and his associate Imtiaz along with one Zaibuddin Ansari as the prime suspects.

While intelligence agencies who have been tracking Rahil and Imtiaz for a long time now, traced him last in Bangladesh. Ansari, who is wanted in connection with the Aurangabad arms and explosives case, is also suspected to have fled to Bangladesh.

Kathmandu: Nepalese police have arrested two Pakistanis who were arrested earlier in connection with the seizure of 16 kg of RDX here five years ago and are investigating whether the duo had any link with the Mumbai train blasts.

Aftar Moiddin Siddiqui and Gulam Hussain Cheema were arrested from a five-star hotel in the outskirts of Kathmandu last night, Superintendent of Police Dhak Bahadur Pun said. — PTI
