ISI: Helicopter terror plot uncovered
Islamabad - Pakistani intelligence agencies claimed to have exposed a terrorist plot involving the use of hijacked helicopters by militants, the English-language Daily Times newspaper reported Monday. Radical groups planned to seize helicopters operated by courier services, welfare organisations and government departments to carry out terrorist acts, intelligence service source told the paper. It was not clear if the aircraft were to be crashed into targets or used to launch conventional aerial attacks. The Pakistani Interior Ministry reportedly responded by stepping up security around aircraft fleets across the country. Warnings were also issued against Iraqi-style kidnapping and killing of senior government officials.
