NIA arrests Samjhauta Express 'bomber'
New Delhi: Five years after the Samjhauta Express blast, there has been a breakthrough in the case. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a man named Kamal Chouhan from Indore. The NIA says Chouhan has admitted to planting a bomb in the train to Pakistan and the probe agency is verifying his claim.

The NIA says Chouhan is being interrogated and will be produced in a Delhi court tomorrow.

On February 18, 2007, there were twin blasts on the Samjahuta Express near Panipat when the bi-weekly train was heading from Delhi to Lahore in Pakistan. Most of the 68 people who died were Pakistanis.

More details are awaited.
