MOMBASA (Kenya): Kenyan police said on Thursday they had arrested one of India's most-wanted terror suspects belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group, which may have been behind the blasts in Mumbai.
Anti-terrorism police in the Indian Ocean said they had detained Abdul Karim Tunda and would be turning him over to prosecutors for possible extradition to India.
"We arrested him today in Mombasa," a senior police official said on condition of anonymity. "He is wanted for the bombings in Mumbai. He will be handed over because he is on the wanted list."
A second senior Mombasa police official confirmed that a man authorities had identified as Abdul Karim Tunda had been detained but refused to provide any details of the suspect's arrest.
It was not immediately clear if Tunda or Laskar-e-Taiba had been implicated in the July 11 Mumbai bombings, in which 182 people were killed and more than 800 injured in coordinated attacks on trains in India's financial hub.
Indian police say the blasts bore all the hallmarks of Lashkar-e-Taiba which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States and others.
According to reports, Tunda allegedly masterminded 33 Lashkar-e-Taiba bomb blasts in India.
