LET LeT operatives admit involvement in Bangalore blasts

Shillong, Nov 3 (PTI) The two Lashker-e-Taiba militants,
handed over to India by Bangladesh, have confessed to their
involvement in the serial blasts that rocked the south Indian
city of Bangalore last year, a top police official said
Thursday.

Nazir Tarian Dabede (25) alias T Nazir told interrogators
of the Meghalaya Police and BSF that he had planted the bombs
along with a person called Rahim, the official, who is also a
part of the interrogation team, said.
Nazir, a bomb expert, and another LeT operative Siraj
Shamshudeen Shamas (33), both from the south Indian state of
Kerela, were handed over to the BSF by Bangladesh's BDR
Wednesday. The BSF had tipped off its Bangladesh counterpart
about the militants' presence in that country.
The duo, however, have so far not admitted their
involvement in the attack at the Indian Institute of Sciences
(IISc) in 2005, the official, who did not wish to be named,
said, adding they would be interrogated again Thursday.
Nazir and Siraj had been in Bangladesh for about a year
and they are understood to have revealed vital information
regarding their "bases" in south India.
Nazir's name surfaced in February last year when Mohammed
Yahya Kammukutty, 31, hailing from Mukkom in Kozhikode
district of Kerala, was arrested as part of a probe into a
SIMI network in Karnataka, another southern Indian state. More
