Mumbai, July 15
With intelligence reports indicating that the bombers involved in last
Tuesday's serial blasts on board Mumbai's commuter trains may have
received substantial local support, the police began a swoop on
suspected Bangladeshi migrants into the city.
Police believe that Syed Zabiuddin alias Zaby, who has been wanted
ever since RDX and other explosives were found in Maharashtra earlier
this year, is a Bangladeshi national who may have recruited several
members of the community into the Lashkar-e-Toiba. At least one
eyewitness has claimed to have seen Zabiuddin at a station minutes
before a blast.
More than 300 persons from the slums of Mahim in North Central
Mumbai have been picked up.
