Hyderabad : A 26-year-old man, Obaid ur Rehman, was arrested from Hyderabad today for alleged links with terror organisations.  He has been brought to Bangalore for questioning. This comes after 11 men, including a journalist and a junior scientist, were arrested for alleged terror links.

The 11 men have been sent to 14-day police custody and are being questioned. All 11 persons are suspected to have links with terror groups like the HuJI and Lashkar and were plotting to assassinate some politicians, journalists and some representatives of Hindu groups according to the police.

Sources say that at least four of the suspects will be taken to Hubli for further investigation. It was from the residence of one of the accused in Hubli in North Karnataka that an imported 7.65mm weapon was seized. Along with it, several documents, some bullets and CDs with some data was recovered by the police.

The Bangalore police commissioner Jyothiprakash Mirji had said yesterday that ‘a big catastrophe had been averted’.
