http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/001200610201865.htm Cops claim to have thwarted terror bid, arrest one New Delhi, Oct. 20 (PTI): On the eve of Diwali, police today said it has foiled a major terrorist plot to carry out bomb blasts in the capital by arresting a Jaish-e-Mohammad militant with three kilograms of RDX. Pervez Ahmed Radoo alias Raju landed in police net on October 14 when he arrived in the capital with the explosives along with a pencil timer and a detonator, Joint Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Karnal Singh said. The militant, who was arrested from near Azadpur fruit market, was to deliver the explosives to a Jaish module which was planning to strike terror in the capital during Diwali, he said. "They wanted to carry out a blast before Diwali. We are still looking for the module. But as of now we have foiled their attempt," Singh said. A post-graduate in zoology, the 29-year-old resident of Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir had procured the explosives from Pune, where he was staying till 2003, Singh said. He was working for the chief of JeM in Srinagar identified as Sherjil, he added. Police also recovered Rs 10 lakhs and a matrix-like coded-language material used by the Pakistan-based terror outfit for communication. During interrogation, Pervez told police that he started working for Jaish in 2002 after coming into contact with one Ghulam Rasool, who had set up a base in Pune. Rasool was killed in an encounter with Kashmir J and K in April, 2006. Pervez then started working for Badar, the former chief of JeM Srinagar, who was also liquidated in June, 2006. "He is basically a carrier. His job is to collect and deliver explosives and hawala money," Singh said. He was produced before a local court on October 15 which remanded him to police custody. The arrest comes at a time when the capital is in a state of high alert in the wake of intelligence inputs warning of terror strikes in some parts of the country. Police has stepped up patrolling, tightened access control measures and beefed up checking and frisking at major market places, cinema halls, metro, train and bus stations as part of the security measures. Besides directing cyber cafe and PCO booth owners and second-hand car dealers have been asked to maintain a tight vigil on all customers. "We have intensified checking at parking lots of all crowded places including markets, putting in place a tight access control mechanism and coordinating with intelligence agencies on various inputs," a senior police official said.
