A Calcutta police team has picked up Mohammed
Shahnaz, in his 20s, from Lalgola, Murshidabad, on charges of having links
with Pakistan-trained terrorists who had sneaked into India from Bangladesh.
The police said Shahnaz's name had emerged
during the interrogation of Abu Taher, the alleged explosives expert said
to have undergone the same training at Muridke near Lahore as 26/11 accused
Ajmal Kasab. Taher was held in Calcutta last month.
Shahnaz had allegedly found Taher a hideout
after he crossed the border.
A special task force team raided his home
this morning. He was brought to Calcutta in the afternoon. "He used to
provide logistics support to terrorists coming from Bangladesh," an officer
said.
