Aurangabad (Maharashtra): The
Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) Monday shot dead a
suspected terrorist allegedly involved in the 2008 Ahmedabad
bombings, police said here.
Acting on a tip-off, ATS officials went to arrest three suspected
terrorists who were hiding in a slum area in the city. The
suspects opened fire at the police team injuring one police
constable in the shoulder.
The ATS team then returned fire, killing one suspect. According to
officials from Aurangabad police, the ATS arrested the two others
after the shootout.
The trio - Abrar Sheikh, Shakeel Ahmed and Khalil Khilji - are
accused in the 2008 Ahmedabad (Gujarat) blasts and allegedly
belong to the Abu Faisal group from Madhya Pradesh. They are also
accused in the murder of a Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) leader
Pramod Tiwari.
The 2008 Ahmedabad bombings were a series of 21 bomb blasts that
rocked Ahmedabad July 26, 2008 within a span of 70 minutes. A
total of 56 people were killed and over 200 people injured in the
blasts blamed on the Indian Mujahideen militant organisation.
