Indian cities on high-alert
2009-12-15
The Indian cities of New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata were placed on alert following intelligence reports that Taliban-trained suicide attackers had managed to sneak into the country, news reports said on Monday.

Home Ministry officials said security was tightened at key installations and defence establishments in after warnings that Islamist militants may carry out attacks, NDTV network reported.

The Bombay Stock Exchange, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai and the offices of Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh could be possible targets, officials said.

Additional security was also deployed around the US Consulate in Kolkata and seaports, rail stations and airports.

The NDTV report said the alert was based on "specific inputs which were cross-checked several times".

There has been no major terrorist attack in India since the Mumbai attacks in November last year.

Ten militants from the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba had entered Mumbai by boat and killed 166 people.
