Six Indian Mujahideen suspects arrested

New Delhi: Six suspected Indian Mujahideen operatives have been arrested in the past few days and police are probing their possible involvement in several terror attacks, sources said Wednesday.

The involvement of the six in terror strikes at the German Bakery in Pune, Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore and the Jama Masjid shooting in Delhi last year ahead of the Commonwealth Games is being investigated, sources said.

The six men have been arrested from Madhubani in Bihar, Chennai and Delhi.

The arrests were made following search operations in the past three days.
