Two suspected terrorists were on Wednesday arrested by the UP ATS team near Gorakhpur for their alleged motive to carry out suicide attacks during BJP prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi's upcoming poll rally in Gorakhpur.

The duo arrested are Pakistani nationals. One of them named Muzammil hails from Multan, his aide Barkat belongs to Kohat in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.



The ATS has recovered explosives, circuit and bomb making equipments from both the accused.

The arrest comes exactly a day after the Delhi Police Special Cell arrested Tehsin Akhtar, the mastermind of October 27 serial blasts at Modi's Patna rally last year. It has been revealed that terror outfits are planning to execute a major attack during the Lok Sabha polls and that Modi is on their target.
