Bangladesh police arrested three suspected members of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba on Friday on suspicion they were plotting to attack U.S. and Indian targets in the country, an official said, according to Reuters. Last week police detained three other Lashkar-e-Taiba suspects during a raid in a madrasa in the port city of Chittagong. "We picked them up as they seemed to be plotting against vital foreign interests here," said a senior police officer about the arrests in the capital Dhaka on Friday. "They are being interrogated," he said. He didn"t give more details. India says the Pakistan-based group is responsible for last year"s assault on Mumbai. New Delhi says the Lashkar-e-Taiba has sought to forge links with militant groups in Bangladesh.
