Police have arrested two militants from the banned group Jaish-e-Mohammad in a raid here, police said on Wednesday. Mohammad Yunus and Nafees Ahmed were arrested late on Tuesday at a house in Orangi as they were making bombs, chief police investigator Manzoor Mughal told AFP. Police also recovered a large quantity of explosives along with two hand-grenades and dozens of toys which police suspect were to have been used to make booby traps, he said. "They were arrested at a house where they were busy making bombs," he said.
"It is premature to say what were their immediate targets, but some material including maps of some sensitive places have also been recovered," Mughal said.
Yunus told interrogators he had been operating under various names, but his real name was Mufti Sanaullah, another police officer said. Sanaullah was a former activist of Lashkar-e-Jehangvi and on the Karachi police's list of wanted people, the officer said on condition of anonymity.
"Mufti Sanaullah was wanted in several criminal cases and carries head money of one million rupees," he said.
A court remanded both militants in police custody until Saturday, he said. They were brought into the courtroom under heavy security. Their faces were covered and reporters were not allowed to talk to them, witnesses said.
