Indian police say arrest man behind Kashmir attacks
2006-07-22
A senior member of a Pakistan-based militant group blamed for a series of attacks in the Indian Kashmir, including last week's bombing of tourist vehicles, has been arrested, police said on Saturday. More than a dozen people, including eight Indian tourists, were killed and at least three dozen wounded in a string of grenade attacks in Srinagar, summer capital of the Jammu and Kashmir state. "Mudasir Gujri, now in police custody, was the main organiser and planner of Lashkar-e-Taiba and brain behind at least 25 recent attacks," Gopal Sharma, state police chief told a news conference.

Gujri, a resident of south Kashmir, had carried a reward of 500,000 Indian rupees ($10,700). "His arrest has revealed certain remarkable things about the LeT (Lashkar-e-Taiba) and the direct hand of Pakistani agencies in training and organising such saboteurs for subversive activities in Kashmir," Sharma said.
