Tracking terror, policemen find success most at rail stations 10 out of 28 militant arrests this year took place at Capital's 3 main terminals <http://www.expressindia.com/about/[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> Aditya Kaul New Delhi, December 2: IT would appear that the Delhi Police's Special Cell has a special knack of nabbing militants at railway stations considering it has arrested 10 alleged terrorists from the capital's three main railway stations this year. Monday's arrest of two alleged Jaish-e-Mohammed militants at Old Delhi Railway Station was another reminder of how easy it appears to have become for police to find explosives and militants at railway stations. Even so, the number of terrorists arrested by the Special Cell this year has dipped from 46 last year to 28, police say. Ten of these militants have reportedly confessed allegiance to the Lashkar-e-Toiba. Delhi Police first struck it rich on February 26 this year when they arrested two Bangladeshi nationals allegedly owing allegiance to LeT as they got down from the Howrah-New Delhi Express at New Delhi Railway Station. "We nabbed the terrorists the moment they stepped into the capital," a senior police officer said. In May, two more alleged Lashkar operatives were arrested at Nizamuddin Railway Station when they got off the Golden Temple Express. Based on their information police laid a trap at Jawaharlal Nehru stadium for Mohammed Iqbal who was killed in retaliatory firing when he fired at police. Police later recovered a large quantity of arms from the accused's hideout in Ballabhgarh. The trend of station arrests continued through August when the Special Cell arrested two Lashkar terrorists. Only this time, police allowed the militants to get off the Sarvodaya Express and shadowed them till the Uttar Pradesh Roadways office outside the station where they arrested them. And in mid-October two Lashkar men were arrested as they got off the Pooja Express at Old Delhi Railway Station. The militants were nabbed with 1.5 kg of explosives which they had acquired from Jammu and Kashmir. Intelligence agencies and Delhi Police have been on their toes this year to avert an attack like the Diwali Eve blasts last year and it is probably no coincidence that they have seized around 26 kg of explosives from the arrested militants this year. "Most of modules that were busted were receiving directions and assistance from across the border to carry out strikes in the Capital. The quantity of explosives that have been seized is enough to blow up a city," a senior Special Cell officer said. Interestingly, Railway Police officials say have had little to do with the militants' arrests. "We might provide them with assistance if needed but most of the times except senior officers, no one is aware of these operations," a Railway Police official said. Another favoured spot for police this year appears to have be the Azadpur wholesale market from where they have nabbed two militants.
