Police are also on the look out for three more members of the module who are at large and could prove potential danger to the law and order in the city, the official said.

A LeT module, headed by Faizal Sheikh, was busted last month and five members, including Faizal, of the group were arrested in connection with the July 11 serial train blasts.

The two arrested on Sunday have been identified as Shabbir Ahmed Mushiullah, a resident of Malegaon in Nasik, and Nafiz Ahmed Jamir Ahmed Ansari (29), a resident of Govandi in north-east Mumbai.

They were arrested by the Mumbai crime branch under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and produced in a local court, which remanded them to police custody till August 17.

"Mushiullah and Ansari were dedicated members of Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), who knew of all developments about the organisation," a senior crime branch official said.

Sources said that Mushiullah and Ansari went to Dubai in May 2003 and from there they moved to Pakistan where they are alleged to have undergone training at LeT camps for arms and ammunition handling, bomb making, etc.
