Arrest of techie terrorist gives Bangalore big shock

Bangalore: A suspected terrorist Mohammed Yahya Kammakutty belonging to the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) has been arrested by the Bangalore Police.
The arrest was made by the Corps of Detectives (CoD) of Bangalore Police on Thursday from the Gurappanapallya area of the city. But some of his associates managed to escape.
The 32-year-old suspect is a native of a village near Kozhikode in Kerala and had worked with General Electric (GE) Software and is said to be an electrical engineer.
Police say he had been living in Bangalore for the last eight years. He was, however, unemployed for the past few months after GE sacked him last year.
