New Delhi, Dec 17 (IBNS) In another breakthrough, the Special Cell of Delhi police has made a third arrest related to al-Qaeda's terror network in the subcontinent, reports said.

Al-Qaeda terrorist Jafar Masood was arrested by the special cell in Sambal on Wednesday night. This is the third arrest in two days.

Masood is believed to be the finance manager of AQIS. He was reportedly  trained in Pakistan in 1999.

The special cell arrested two other al-Qaeda operatives Asif and Mohammad Abdul Rehman from Delhi and Cuttack on Wednesday. While Asif was allegedly present at the grand shura of al-Qaeda in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region when the terror group's Indian subcontinent wing was established, Mohammad Rehman is suspected to have terror links in Saudi, Dubai and London.

Al-Qaeda chief Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri was reportedly present at the grand shura. Asif returned to India to develop and establish the terror groups.
