The Mumbai Police will dispose off the 24 kgs of RDX recovered from the target spots of the 26/11 terror attack, after the verdict in the case is delivered on the 3rd of next month. The court had last month allowed the Police to dispose of the RDX recovered from the terror target areas. Sources said, the RDX will be burnt in a controlled atmosphere. The RDX was recovered from three unexploded improvised explosive devices, one outside Taj Mahal Hotel, and another near Gokul Restaurant and the third from an unclaimed baggage at Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in November 2008. Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said, the seized explosives were placed before the court as evidence. <br/>The prosecution case states that, two slain terrorist, Abdul Rehman Bada and Abu Ali, had kept eight to ten kilograms of RDX-laden IED outside the main porch of Taj Hotel in South Mumbai. Two other terrorists, Abu Shoib and Abu Umer, who had fired at people at the Leopold Cafe, had planted about ten kilograms of RDX-laden IED on the kerb near Gokul Restaurant in the same area, which did not explode. Both Abu Shoib and Abu Umer, were later killed by the security forces in the gun battle at Hotel Taj. <br/>
