Yasin Bhatkal, Abdul Karim Tunda and counting: Government promises more big arrests
New Delhi: Soon after Yasin Bhatkal, the head of the Indian Mujahideen was arrested, the government today vowed that it would hunt down all those who have waged war against India and said there would be no rest till all such terrorists are put behind bars.

Minister of State for Home RPN Singh the 30-year-old Bhatkal was a bigger catch than Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Abdul Karim Tunda, arrested by the Delhi Police recently.

Mr Singh said the UPA government has assured the country that it will pursue all the people who have waged war against India from the country's soil as well as from abroad.

"I take this opportunity to once again congratulate central agencies after we arrested Tunda and again we have apprehended a bigger terrorist. I once again reiterate our commitment to fight against terrorists. I hope there will be no politics as far as terror is concerned," he said.

Bhatkal was arrested from the Indo-Nepal border in north Bihar after being on the run for more than five years.
