Four held in Mumbai

Published January 21, 2007

MUMBAI, Jan 20: Four people were arrested with 6kg of powerful explosives near a crowded railway station in Mumbai on Saturday, six months after a string of train bombings that killed 186 people in the financial hub.

The arrests were made near the Andheri station, one of the busiest halts on Mumbai's suburban railway network, following a tip-off by intelligence agencies, police said.

“We can not say now if these people are just carriers of the explosives or they were planning any attack,” said a senior officer, who declined to be identified.
