With the arrest of a Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) militant and seizure of explosives, Delhi Police Thursday claimed to have averted a major terrorist strike in the capital, but they still have no clue of seven kg of RDX buried somewhere in the city.

RDX is an explosive widely used in military and industrial applications.

Sleuths of Delhi Police Special Cell arrested Abdur Rehman from the New Delhi Railway station Wednesday night. Following his interrogation, they recovered 3.1 kg of RDX, five detonators and one timer device buried near a mosque in D Block of Janakpuri area in west Delhi.

Rehman told the police that Nata, a commander of the Bangladesh-based HuJI, had handed him 3.1 kg of RDX in January 2007 near a mosque at Dabri in southwest Delhi to carry out explosions in the capital.

He said Nata also gave seven kg of RDX to ‘Rocky’, whom he doesn’t know, for the same task.

Police Special Cell sources said they were trying to trace two HuJI militants who are active in the capital.

“We don’t know anything about Rocky yet. The remaining seven kg of RDX could be anywhere in the capital or outside. We have no clue,” Joint Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Karnal Singh said.
