Indian police search for armed men near atomic plant
 NEW DELHI - Indian police were on Tuesday conducting a major search for two armed men seen near an atomic power plant, two television stations reported. NDTV said police had sealed off the Kakrapar plant near Surat in the western state of Gujarat. It said the pair had entered the plant. CNN-IBN said a special paramilitary force was brought in after the armed pair were spotted near the plant.Security agencies had received warnings earlier this month about possible militant attacks on power plants, and stepped up security ahead of independence day celebrations on August 15. The plant has two units, each with a capacity of 220 megawatts, which went into operation between 1993 and 1995. Posted by: Steve 2006-08-22 |
