Train was our target, say blast accused

MORENA (MP),JUNE 12. Four people, arrested in connection with the May 19 blast in Morena town, have admitted that they were planning to engineer a blast in the Pathankot Express, but their plans went awry as the time bomb went off before the train's arrival, the police said.

Two associates of the arrested were killed and two others seriously injured in the blast, they said adding the four had also revealed during interrogation that they were making time bombs and explosives and supplying them to others through a ``contact'' in Delhi.

Police have informed their counterparts in Delhi and Chennai about the arrests as they suspect that the four might have links with Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).

The Morena police are now on the hunt for persons who had engaged Shahid and his gang for supplying them the explosives, sources added.
