| Delhi Police today claimed to have averted a "spectacular terror attack" after the arrests of four suspected operatives of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) in Rajasthan yesterday.
One of them, Waqas, is alleged to be the chief bomb-maker of the banned outfit and a close aide of its jailed co-founder Yasin Bhatkal
Pakistani national, Waqas was arrested at the Ajmer railway station yesterday on a tip-off. He is one of the most wanted in connection with several blasts in the country, including the serial blasts in Mumbai in July 2011 that killed 27 persons and injured over 130.
2."We questioned him, got details of three others... got to know he was planning to meet his aides in Ajmer and plan another terrorist attack," said SN Srivastava, Special Commissioner of Police (Special Cell), Delhi Police.
3.While two among the trio, Mohd. Mahroof and Saqib Ansari, were arrested in Jaipur, the third, Mohd. Waqar Azhar, was nabbed in Jodhpur. A huge quantity of explosives, detonators and timers were recovered during the arrests.
4.Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde termed the arrests as a "big success", adding that Waqas' arrest "will help us in providing more links".
5.Cops, though, said that whether the planned "terror attack" was aimed at targeting the general elections that begin next month, needed further investigation.
6.The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had announced a reward of Rs. 10 lakh on any information leading to Waqas' arrest
