India Issues Nationwide Terror Alert For New Year's, Braces For Lashkar-i-Taiba Attack


Well, leave it to the radical islamists of the world to bring in the New Year of 2011 with a bang - the islamic terror group, Lashkar-i-Taiba, is apparently planning a New Year's attack on the nation of India and the Indian government is taking it so seriously that they have issued a nationwide increase security alert.

From the article at DAWN:


India increased security in major cities across the country Tuesday after receiving information that banned militant group Lashkar-i-Taiba was planning an attack over New Year’s weekend.

More police were deployed to city streets, including in India’s financial capital, Mumbai, which was attacked in 2008. Airports and railway stations and the popular beach resort state of Goa all tightened security following intelligence reports that Lashkar-i-Taiba was planning to target these places, an official with the Home Ministry said. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to the media.

India has taken even minor terror threats seriously since a three-day terrorist siege killed 166 people in Mumbai, though there has been no major attack there since.

Police have been searching since Friday for four men who authorities believe entered Mumbai to carry out a terrorist attack. Computer-aided photographs of the four suspects were released.

On Tuesday, police made house-to-house searches in some parts of Mumbai, and tightened security checks at bus and train stations, churches and markets.
You can see from the article that with four terrorists confirmed having landed in the country, this is a dire situation for the Indians and it certainly looks pretty iffy that they will find these guys before an attack takes place. At the same time, with the possibility of another Mumbai-style attack, it's almost impossible to guard against that tactic.

I'm not sure if any of you noticed yesterday but it was announced that India had established a Sharia-compliant indexing of their stock exchange - just another overture by the government of appeasement to the islamists in India and how are such jestures treated? Well, more terror attacks are planned, that's the response you get when you cowtow to Islam and the terrorists.

Europe appears to have escaped the Christmas holidays without the realization of the threat of attacks by al Qaeda ... we can only hope that India is just as lucky come the end of this week.



India issues nationwide terror alert


NEW DELHI: India increased security in major cities across the country Tuesday after receiving information that banned militant group Lashkar-i-Taiba was planning an attack over New Year’s weekend.

More police were deployed to city streets, including in India’s financial capital, Mumbai, which was attacked in 2008. Airports and railway stations and the popular beach resort state of Goa all tightened security following intelligence reports that Lashkar-i-Taiba was planning to target these places, an official with the Home Ministry said. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to the media.

India has taken even minor terror threats seriously since a three-day terrorist siege killed 166 people in Mumbai, though there has been no major attack there since.

Police have been searching since Friday for four men who authorities believe entered Mumbai to carry out a terrorist attack. Computer-aided photographs of the four suspects were released.

On Tuesday, police made house-to-house searches in some parts of Mumbai, and tightened security checks at bus and train stations, churches and markets.

In the 2008 attack, 10 armed terrorists fanned out across Mumbai attacking two luxury hotels, a Jewish centre and a railway station.

In March, Mumbai police said they prevented a major terrorist strike after they arrested two Indian men, who, police said, were preparing to hit several targets in the city.

Then in September, police issued a terror alert for the city during a popular Hindu festival. Police said they had information that two militants were planning a terror strike and that the men were acting on directions from handlers allegedly residing in Pakistan.
