Al-Qaeda suspects sneak into India
2010-05-05
[Iran Press TV Latest] Unconfirmed intelligence reports say around 140 suspected al-Qaeda terrorists may have sneaked into India through the Assam border.

India's home ministry officials say they have asked the police force to be on high alert to look out for al-Qaeda terrorists trying to sneak into the country from the western coast.

This was one of the reasons behind the high alert sounded over the weekend, the officials who demanded anonymity said.

Though the input has not been confirmed yet, the officials said they did not want to leave anything to chance at a time when the Lashkar-e Taiba and other Pakistan-based terrorist groups are determined to launch huge attacks on India, Indian newspapers reported.

Over the past two weeks, news has been trickling in that around 140 alleged al-Qaeda members may have sneaked into India, using Sri Lankan fishing boats.

Police say the suspected terrorists have formed small groups and have dispersed to various parts. There was no corroboration from any other sources.

However, the home ministry issued alerts last Friday to the affected states, not wanting to take any chances. This is the second time in the past two weeks that the center has issued terror warnings to several states.

No warnings for Arizona, only promises of litigation.

#1  Algorithms could include money funned through Dubai in $20,000 - $30,000 per account and/or $8,000 bottle withdraws. Mumbai attack is the standard. Tactical ware purchased locally and support with unregistered ships on the east coast ? ? .certain ISI connection. If they pound India, Afghanistan becomes an easier target.

Maybe I am wrong.
