 NEW DELHI (AP) - Indian police said Sunday they made a major breakthrough in the investigation of the triple bombings in New Delhi last month that killed 60 people, arresting a Kashmiri militant leader they said planned and funded the attacks.
Tariq Ahmad Dar, a key member of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyaba militant group, was arrested in the Indian Kashmir city of Srinagar on Thursday and brought to New Delhi for questioning, Delhi police commissioner K.K. Paul said.
Dar has not been formally charged, but police obtained court permission to detain him for 14 days for further investigation to help catch at least four other suspects, including those who planted the bombs, Paul said.
