MUMBAI: Police are probing possible links between Tuesday's serial blasts in suburban trains and the seizures of radio-enabled detonators here in March and a huge consignment of RDX at Aurangabad in May.
 
The Anti-Terrorist Squad of Mumbai Police busted two suspected modules of the Lashkar-e-Taiba following the seizures, but said it had been unable to find out whether similar modules were still active in the city and if they had plans to carry out attacks here.
 
Police are focusing on finding out if the persons arrested in connection with the two modules had any knowledge of the terror attacks in suburban trains, sources said.
 
The ATS had claimed the arrests made by it had helped avert a major terrorist attack on Mumbai.
 
On May 9, ATS sleuths seized a consignment of 30 kg of RDX explosives and arms and arrested over 10 suspected Lashkar operatives at Aurangabad in Marathwada region, 350 km from here. The consignment included 10 AK-47 assault rifles and
2,000 cartridges.
 
Subsequently, seven persons were arrested and 13 kg of RDX and six AK-47 rifles were seized from locations in central and northern Maharashtra.
