New Delhi, June 24: A suspected Harkat-ul-Muajahideen
militant, who managed to give police a slip in 2001, was
arrested here.
On a tip off, the special cell of Delhi police arrested
Habib-ur-Rehman alias Babu from Sarai Kale Khan area last
night, a senior police officer said on Tuesday.
Rehman had managed to dodge a police net in 2001 when he
tried to smuggle in eight kg of high explosive RDX and
detonators into the capital. At that time, two of his
accomplices, who were Pakistani nationals, were arrested.
Rehman, who hails from Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh,
carries a reward of Rs 25,000 on his head, the officer said.
