Lashkar module may strike during ICC World Cup, warns Home Ministry

[angeldemon_007]

The Home Ministry has sounded a nationwide alert in the wake of inputs that the terror groups Al-Qaeda and Lashkar-e-Taiba are looking for opportunities to target the ongoing World Cup cricket matches in India.

A foreign intelligence agency has conveyed to India that some members of an operational cell of the terrorists already in the country, possibly entered via Nepal, and some more may arrive soon.

The Centre has asked the states to beef up security along the coastline, oil installations and all world cup venues. Indian Navy, Coast Guard, coastal police of the states and coastal villages have also been alerted.

World Cup-related alerts were sent to the police chiefs of Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal and the police commissioners of Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Nagpur, Chandigarh and Delhi.

The cricket venues in Maharashtra and Gujarat - specifically Nagpur, Mumbai and Ahmedabad - are "special concerns" as they are near the western coast. (ANI)

This is very worrying, I hope all Federal and State agencies really step up and the first responders to any possible attack (SWAT/POLICE/NSG etc) are prepared and take swift action to minimize any possible casualties. i.e no repeat of 26/11.

This could have serious reprocussions if this happens e.g for Pak-Indian relations, I don't know if the Indian public could stomach anther bloody attack by Pak based terrorists. The GoI may be forced to take military action against those responsible to appease their public and maintain international apearences, they can't just keep taking these blows without recourse.

So far all is well.

We have a thread on it.
Its just India's Islamophobia and Pakistanophobia to defame Pakistan.

Basless lies and Biased.

Yup! Your lahori policewallahs were not thinking very differently when Sri Lanka toured you, were they?

It will be one more shame for Pakistan, if anything wrong happened during world cup. Let's hope IB is keeping close watch on terrorist camps in P.0.K.
