The Anti-Terrorist Squad of the Mumbai police arrested three suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists and seized 10 AK-47 assault rifles and 30 kg of RDX from them from Aurangabad city, about 350 km from here, following a raid, ATS sources said.

The raid, conducted by the ATS yesterday following a tip-off by Delhi police, who killed an LeT terrorist in an encounter two days ago in the capital, led to the seizure of 40 AK-47 magazines and over 2000 rounds besides the automatic guns and the RDX, sources said.

They added that the suspected LeT terrorists were trying to flee with the arms when they were arrested by the ATS.

ATS sources said that apart from Aurangabad, a search was also carried out at an undisclosed place in Mumbai, but the police did not recover anything suspicious.

In both operations, the ATS was joined by a team of the Delhi police.

The terrorists have been sent to police custody till May 24. They were produced before additional chief metropolitan magistrate A Garde this afternoon and the police sought their custody to further interrogate them to unearth their motive and delivery of large number of arsenal seized from the vehicle.
