Mumbai ATS nabs two German Bakery blast suspects

Mumbai, Sep 8 (ANI): The Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has arrested two people in connection with the blast that ripped Pune's German Bakery on February 13 this year.

Earlier on August 10, Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil said the police have identified the culprits involved in the German Bakery blast.

"Police have identified those involved in the German Bakery blast. They also have proofs and know the whereabouts of these persons who are at large in various parts of the country," said Patil on the sidelines of a function in Pune.

"The ATS in coordination with Central agencies were tracking the blast accused," he added, expressing confidence that the culprits would be nabbed soon.

The Pune blast, which killed seventeen people and wounded at least 57, was seen as the first major attack on India since the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

The bakery is located in Koregaon Park, which is close to the Osho Ashram and the Chabad House, a Jewish prayer house, frequented by numerous foreigners and tourists. (ANI)
