New Delhi, June 24: A suspected Harkat-ul-Muajahideen militant, who managed to give police a slip in 2001, was arrested here.

On a tip off, the special cell of Delhi police arrested Habib-ur-Rehman alias Babu from Sarai Kale Khan area last night, a senior police officer said on Tuesday.

Rehman had managed to dodge a police net in 2001 when he tried to smuggle in eight kg of high explosive RDX and detonators into the capital. At that time, two of his accomplices, who were Pakistani nationals, were arrested.

Rehman, who hails from Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh, carries a reward of Rs 25,000 on his head, the officer said.

Islam sucks... Muslims have problems with all other religions(Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Jews, Bodha). They are not happy anywher whether they are in majority(pakistan, bangladesh) or minority(India). They have equal rights in India while in muslim majority countries(52 muslims countries are there), the condition of minorities is worst. Few sick ppl killed thousands of hindus in kashmir and 5 lacs hindus are living in tents in their own country. Few sick ppl kill 1000 muslims in gujrat and now they started killing innocents hindus. Do they dont deserve democracy or militery rule like in pakistan, bangladesh, kashmir. - TI - Panipat
