MUMBAI: Alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Faheem Ansari, arrested by the Uttar Pradesh police last week, did recce of over 12 places, including police commissioner's office, state police head quarters, Hilton Tower, and Churchgate station, in Mumbai for two months.

He even enrolled at a computer class near BSE to get information about the stock exchange building, police said. Faheem (35), a resident of Motilal Nagar in Goregaon, told the anti-terrorism squad (ATS) that he rented a room and paid a year's rent ��� Rs 50,000 ��� for it in advance.

LeT sent the money to Faheem, who was on his first assignment, the police said. The ATS officials say LeT has adopted an organised and well-planned strategy to target the country's financial capital.
