<b>[center]CRPF camp attack: Six LeT terrorists arrested in UP[/center]</b>
LUCKNOW: In major breakthrough in cases of terror strikes on a CRPF camp in Rampur and IISc in Bangalore, Central security agencies and Uttar Pradesh police on Sunday arrested six LeT terrorists from two places in the state as they were planning to move out to Mumbai - their next target.
Three Lashkar-e-Toiba militants - Suhail and Arshad Ali alias Baba, both residents of UP, and Fayheem, a Pakistani national - were arrested from a state roadways bus in Rampur when they were planning to go to Mumbai, sources said.
In Lucknow, three terrorists - Sallahuddin, a resident of Madhubani in Bihar, and Imran and Farooq, both from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) - were nabbed when they were trying to leave the city, they said.
Sallahuddin was allegedly the mastermind of the attack on the CRPF camp in Rampur on this New Year's day. The attack by heavily-armed terrorists on the camp, in which eight persons including seven security personnel were killed, was executed by Suhail, Arshad and the two militants from PoK - Imran and Farooq.
According to the sources, the two PoK residents had been tasked to act as suicide attackers while the two others provided cover to them. However, in the melee, all the four had managed to escape.
One of them, who was suspected to have received a bullet injury, was in fact hit by a splinter from a grenade that was thrown by him at the CRPF recruitment camp.
The arrested terrorists were moving in two separate groups and their next destination was Mumbai where Fayheem had hired a room, the sources said, adding they were waiting for fresh instructions from across the border.
