India claims killing Pakistani ââ¬Ëterroristââ¬â¢
MUMBAI, Aug 22: Indian police claimed on Tuesday that it had foiled a possible terrorist attack in the financial hub of Mumbai after they shot dead a person suspected to be a Pakistani national and arrested another after a gunbattle in the metropolis.
Acting on a tip-off, police surrounded a dilapidated building in a central neighbourhood and began searching for suspects linked with the July 11 attacks, A.N. Roy, Mumbaiââ¬â¢s police chief, told a news conference.
ââ¬ÅWe intercepted a car last night and arrested a person who led us to the hideout of his accomplice,ââ¬Â Roy said. ââ¬ÅThere, the other man did not surrender and fired 18 rounds from an AK-47 rifle. We returned fire in which he was killed.ââ¬Â
Asked if the two were suspects in the Mumbai bombings, Roy said: ââ¬ÅThey could be involved. But we have to investigate more. Obviously, they came with some ulterior motives.ââ¬Â
Police identified the arrested man as Mohammed Riaz Nabiuddin and the dead as Mohammed Ali.ââ¬âReuters
