<b>Tunda, linked to Mumbai terror, in Pakistan</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Abdul Karim Tunda, one of India's most wanted terrorists, and a key player behind the terror attacks on Mumbai trains, is living in Pakistan, intelligence sources say.
Amid the confusion over his reported - and then denied - arrest in Kenya, a senior intelligence official said, "We have specific information that Tunda was among the planners of the Mumbai blasts."

<b>Senior intelligence officials say Tunda, 63, was hiding in Pakistan, pretending to be a perfume seller.</b>
Originally a resident of western Uttar Pradesh, he got the nickname Tunda after one of his hands blew up while making bombs.
...........
<b>"His shop is barely a few metres away from the headquarters of the Lashker-e-Taiba (at Muridke in Pakistan)."</b>
Tunda had been named in connection with over 40 terror bombings in India between 1996 and 1998. He reportedly fled to Pakistan through Bangladesh on an Indian passport secured from Lucknow

He is in Pakistan since 1998. I don't understand how he managed to plan train attack in Bombay.
In April, Police claimed Tunda was involved in Jama Masjid blast.
It means Jama Masjid blast is linked with Mumbai blast. In Jama Masjid Imam Bukhari did not allow police investigation.
It is possible Imam Bukhari may be involved in Mumbai blast or he had knowledge of blast.
