Indian police have arrested two men suspected of plotting a series of terror attacks in Mumbai.
The pair aimed to attack a market, a shopping centre and a state-owned gas facility, according to anti-terrorism officers.
Police said the men had links with terror groups in Pakistan and were acting on directions from handlers there.
Vinesh Agarwal, an inspector with Mumbai's anti-terrorism squad, said: "We believe they were taking instructions from across the border to attack three or four targets in Mumbai."
