NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Four militants from a Pakistani-based group fighting Indian rule in Kashmir who were arrested on Sunday had been plotting bomb blasts in crowded market areas of the Indian capital, police said on Monday.
The militants from the Jaish-e-Mohammad group were carrying three kilograms of RDX explosives and were going to plant three explosive devices at the busy markets, officials added.
"I cannot give you the names of which markets they were targeting for the bomb blasts. They were supposed to carry out the blasts immediately, maybe today," Karnal Singh, a counter-terrorism official, told a news conference.
Sixty-six people were killed when three blasts ripped through markets in New Delhi in 2005, days before the biggest Hindu and Muslim festivals of the calendar.
