Police on June 20 arrested a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant who is the main accused in the 2000 blast in a bus near Agra (Uttar Pradesh) that killed two passengers and injured 15 others, reports Hindustan Times. Yusuf Mohammed was arrested from Nuh village in Mewat District of Haryana and brought to Agra in Uttar Pradesh later in the day in connection with the blast at Peeli Pokhar near Khandauli, around 20 kilometres from here. Yusuf Mohammed had been to Pakistan five to six times for training and is an active member of the Lashkar-e-Toiba, Deputy Inspector General of Police Deepesh Juneja told reporters, adding that some fake passports had also been recovered from him. He also said that Yusuf had several relatives in Pakistan and one of them had introduced him to Arif, who is closely connected with the LeT. In March, 2000, Yusuf had planned to carry out a blast at a bus stand near Agra Fort, for which he carried out a rehearsal by planting a bomb in a bus which exploded at Peeli Pokhar. Some believe that it was not a rehearsal. The bomb for some reason exploded before reaching its target, a Police official said.
