'ISI agent' arrested in Hyderabad

A suspected ISI agent was arrested on Tuesday by SIT probing the August 25 twin blasts. Police arrested Mohd Sohail, 21, a resident of Saleem Nagar in Malakpet, at RTC crossroads. He was reportedly found in possession of 'jehadi' literature. Sohail was reportedly in contact with HuJI leader Shahed alias 'Bilal', the prime accused in the several blast cases in the city. Sohail also reportedly went to Mumbai a week ago to discuss future operations in the city, sources said. "Sohail was planning to execute some more blasts in the city," a senior police officer said. Sohail reportedly confessed to police that they were planning to extend their operations outside India, particularly in Asia. Police officials claimed that Sohail confessed that he was having links with ISI activists. He was produced before court and sent to judicial remand. Police also filed a petition for his custody.
