New Delhi: Delhi Police
have unearthed an arms factory of the home grown Indian Mujahideen
terror outfit and a stockpile of assembled and unassembled weapons
has been seized, parliament was told Tuesday.
Minister of State for Home Affairs Jitendra Singh, in a written
reply to the Lok Sabha, said the "factory manufacturing arms and
ammunition being run by the Indian Mujahideen in Delhi was unearthed
recently".
"A stockpile of weapon parts - fully and half assembled weapon,
explosives and tools have been recovered," Singh said.
He did not specify the details about where the factory was located
in the national capital.

Mujahideen operatives, including a Pakistani national, in November.
"Two AK 47 rifles, 50 cartridges, one 9 mm pistol, 14 live
cartridges, 1.4 kg of explosives, five detonators and fake Indian
currency notes worth Rs.2 lakh, and incriminating material have been
recovered from them," he said.
