NEW DELHI, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- India's intelligence agencies say the arrest of a suspected rebel in Karnataka state could help unravel a Harkat-ul-Jihad-e-Islami network.
The resident of Bangalore city, who was arrested recently on a charge of car theft, was responsible for a string of terrorist bombings that claimed more than 100 lives across the country in 2005-2006, a senior Intelligence Bureau official said Tuesday.
The official who is linked with the interrogation of Hyderabad-born Ziauddin Nasir said evidence has emerged that Nasir was trained by a Pakistan-based HuJI cell responsible for attacks in Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan states for six months, before returning to India through Bangladesh in August 2007.
He said investigators hope to establish whether the head of the cell, Mohammad Abdul Shahid, is still alive or whether unconfirmed rumors that he was killed in an August 2007 shootout in Karachi are correct.
