Plan to assassinate Chief Minister Modi foiled
Police shot dead four suspected terrorists, including two Pakistanis, who were allegedly plotting to kill Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, here Tuesday. A senior police officer said that the four - three men and a woman - were gunned down on a road at Sardar Nagar on the outskirts of Ahmedabad between 4 am and 5 am following an intelligence tip-off. Joint Commissioner of Police P P Pandey said two of the dead were Pakistanis and two appeared to be Indians. All four were said to be members of the Pakistan-backed terrorist group, Laskhar-e-Jehad. "The four had come to kill Modi," Pandey said. "We had an intelligence tip-off." The officer declined to give further details, saying these would be made public at a press conference later Tuesday.Posted by: Paul Moloney 2004-06-15 |
