-----------------------------------------------------------

men arrested Friday, linked to Pakistan-based militant groups





School children walk past the site of an explosion in Bombay, India,
Wednesday, July 12, 2006Indian investigators say they have arrested
two more suspects in connection with the deadly train bombings in
Mumbai, previously known as Bombay.

At least one of those arrested is believed to be a leader in the
Pakistan-based militant group Laskar-e-Toiba. Officials say they
believe the group may be responsible for the July 11 attacks that
killed nearly 200 people.



Eight suspects have now been arrested in connection with the blasts.
Police say some of those detained, in addition to the two men arrested
Friday, are linked to Pakistan-based militant groups.

Meanwhile, India has stepped up security at its borders with
Bangladesh and Nepal to stop any terrorist infiltration. Indian
officials said last week that two of the men arrested in connection
with the train bombings could have crossed into India illegally from
Bangladesh and Nepal.
