NEW DELHI: Five days after the arrest of the alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) conduit, Tariq Ahmed Dar, the Delhi police were still busy trying to piece together the entire sequence of events leading to the October 29 serial blasts in the Capital. A massive search has been launched to trace the militants who, according to Tariq, had planted the bombs.

Senior police officers on Tuesday remained tight-lipped over the developments in the cases, but it is learnt that they were interrogating Tariq and some other persons reportedly picked up on suspicion of their involvement in the blasts.

A Special Cell team had earlier visited Jammu and Kashmir to conduct raids on suspected hideouts of the militants identified by Tariq, including the LeT commander, Abu Huzefa.

The police team also went to Tariq's residence in search of evidence establishing his suspected links with the terrorists. They were also trying to trace the satellite phone through which he was alleged to be in regular contact with his Pakistan-based handlers, including the Pakistani LeT commander for operation in the Kashmir Valley, Abu Al Kama. The police are also probing the monetary transactions through Tariq's HDFC account in Srinagar. Investigations so far have revealed that money in huge amounts was transferred to his account from time to time, from a Middle-East country (Saudi Arabia).

The intelligence agencies are trying to identify the source of the money-transfer.
