Pakistani police claim to have arrested 'Indian terrorists'

Pakistani police have arrested seven alleged Indian agents on terrorism charges, a senior officer said on Tuesday.

"This is the most organised terrorist gang trained by the Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing," said Karachi police chief Tariq Jamil.

He said the seven, all Pakistani nationals, had confessed to carrying out a series of bomb blasts in the country.

Three were arrested in Karachi and four at Thatta, a town near Karachi, on Monday. The ringleader was identified as Abdul Jabbar Zafar.

The accused were produced before an anti-terrorism court in the city on Tuesday under tight security.

Jamil said police recovered 30 kilograms of explosives along with timers, detonators and an assault rifle from the gang.

Pakistan's border security force arrested eight alleged agents of RAW near Lahore in Punjab province in August.
