    Mumbai: The anti-terrorist squad of the Mumbai police seized a huge cache of explosives and weapons in raids conducted at various places in the Aurangabad district late on Tuesday night.

    The operation was conducted by a joint team of Delhi and Mumbai police officials, three kilometres from the popular tourist spot Ellora caves.

    The team was working on specific intelligence that a group of Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists was planning to launch a terror attack on the Ellora caves.

    One person, Amir Shakeel Ahmed, aged 30, was arrested and two other persons were detained for interrogation.

    The police also seized 10 AK-47 rifles, 30 kg of explosives and 11 boxes of 2,000 live catridges. A Tata Sumo vehicle was also seized.

    The arrested LeT suspects will be brought to city later in the afternoon and will be produced in court.

    The Delhi connection

    The information that led the Mumbai crime branch to Aurangabad reportedly came from the two Lashkar terrorists who were arrested on May 8 following a shootout near the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.

    A top Lashkar terrorist Abu Hamza was killed in the shootout.

    The police had found a slip of paper on Hamza with an address of a house in Ballabhgarh on the outskirts of Delhi.

    The police then carried out a raid at that address and found a huge cache of arms and ammunition including 2 AK 56 rifles, 179 cartridges, 10 hand grenades, nitric acid, urea a timer circuit and other materials used in making bombs.
