Bangalore terror suspects arrested from Banladesh

New Delhi: Bangladesh Rifles Wednesday handed over two suspected Lashker-e-Taiba militants, believed to be involved in the 2005 Bangalore terror attack at the Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc) that left an IIT professor dead.

Police in Shillong said, T Nazir alias Nazir Paryan (33)and Shafiquq alias Shasaz Samsuddin (25), hailing from Kerala, were caught by the Bangladesh police on their soil.

Union Home Secretary G K Pillai said two suspected Lashker operatives were detained along the Indo-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya and 'we are trying to find out their antecedentsand links and their activities.'
