New Delhi, Dec 08: After killing two Pakistani terrorists in an encounter and arresting their two associates here yesterday, Delhi police has launched a hunt to nab their two more accomplices. Police are looking for one Mohd Aftab, who acted as a facilitator for the terrorists by arranging supply of large quantity of arms and ammunition, besides their entry and stay here, joint commissioner of police (special cell) Neeraj Kumar told reporters today. Efforts were also being made to track down the unknown person who delivered a large cache of arms, ammunition and explosives to the two terrorists - Tarif Hussain and Tazim Ahmed of Hizbul Mujahideen Pir Panjal regiment - before their arrest in Khanpur area of south Delhi last evening, he said. Aftab, about whose background police does not know much, is believed to be a "sleeper agent" for terrorists in Delhi, arranging safe hideouts for terrorists and weapons, besides facilitating terrorist actions, he said. The about 30-year-old was the contact person in Delhi for Tarif and Tazim, hailing from Rajouri in Jammu and Kashmir, who had been tasked to reach the capital and set up a base here, Kumar said.
