Security alert in Punjab after terror attack reports
2005-10-13
The Punjab Police has been directed to check vehicles with tinted windows and the Home Department has extended Section 144 for another one month after reports of terror attacks, especially on worship places, a highly placed police official told Daily Times on Wednesday. Police officials have been directed to enhance security at worship places to foil attempts by suicide bombers. They have been directed to make parking arrangements away from worship places to foil car bombings attempts, the official said.

“We have information that terrorists can carry out attacks in Punjab, especially at places of worship, therefore we have taken security measures,” the official added. A Home Department official admitted that there was a possibility of terror attacks. “As the focus is on the earthquake relief activity, there are strong chances of a terrorist attack in the province,” the official said.
