Delhi Metro was on LeT's target list

     New Delhi: Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists were in the process of firming up plans for another attack in the Indian capital soon after the October 29 serial blasts. Police sources said that the targets included the underground Metro rail network and seven other places. Tariq Dar, the prime accused in 29/10, made these revelations during his interrogation, prompting security agencies to tighten up security across the city. At least four terrorists are said to be still at large. Meanwhile, in Kashmir, Delhi Police have captured three more people and are interrogating them. Delhi Police expects to gather more information from Dar about the LeT's plans as he is believed to be close to the banned outfit's top heirarchy. Dar had direct contact with the outfit's chief, Hafiz Mohammad, telephonically. In Kashmir, he was known to be a 'spokesman' for the LeT. To verify his statements, he has already been taken to the blast sites and will soon be taken to Jammu and Kashmir.
