| 2009-05-28 |
| The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has received "direct threats" from terrorists, a source told Daily Times on Wednesday. He said a meeting was held at the FIA headquarters in which Islamabad Inspector General Syed Kaleem Imam, Senior Superintendent of Police (Traffic) Sultan Azam Taimuri and officials of the law enforcement agencies participated. He said the meeting was convened to counter the threat. The meeting decided that the road on the rear side of the headquarters would be closed to traffic, he added. "The road will be blocked and the walls of the headquarters will be raised," the meeting decided. The Islamabad police were also asked to heighten security in the vicinity of the headquarters, he said. The meeting also decided to improve the intelligence-gathering mechanism to pre-empt terrorist attacks, the source added. Karachi, Rawalpindi and Islamabad were on the hit list of the terrorists, another source feared. An intelligence agency source said they were already on their toes to prevent terrorist attacks. |
