Indian Mujahideen leader, Yasin Bhatkal, arrested A hooded Yasin Bhatkal, accused of a string of bomb attacks in India, is taken to a court in Bihar. India's most wanted home-grown terror suspect, alleged bomber and operations manager for the Indian Mujahideen, Yasin Bhatkal, has been arrested on the India-Nepal border, after five years on the run. Bhatkal was wanted for planning and committing a string of bomb attacks across India since 2008. In February 2010, video footage allegedly captured him planting the bomb that killed 17 people outside the German Bakery in Pune.

Sixteen people died in that attack. Bhatkal is also wanted over a bomb blast at the Delhi High Court in 2011, and at least eight other attacks. The Indian Mujahideen is an Indian-based Islamist terror network with links to Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Toiba. It was proscribed as a terror network by India in 2010 and the US in 2011. One of IM's founders, Bhatkal took control of the movement in 2008 after his cousins Riyaz and Iqbal fled to Pakistan. Thirty-year-old Bhatkal, an engineering graduate from a middle-class family from Karnataka in southern India, is the biggest IM operative ever arrested in India. He had a 3.5 million rupee ($A58,000) reward on his head. Bhatkal is believed to have been using India's porous border with Nepal to move in and out of the country undetected for several months. Yasin Bhatkal was traced along the Bihar-Nepal border last night by our intelligence agencies. He is under the custody of Bihar police and the interrogation has been going on," Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde told reporters in Delhi on Thursday. Bhatkhal's arrest is the second major terror arrest in India in the past month. On August 16, alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba bomb maker Abdul Karim Tunda was arrested, also on the Nepali border.
