Israelis in India warned of possible terror attacks
ISRAEL: The Counter Terrorism Bureau ( CTB) at Israel's
National Security Council on Thursday issued a severe terror threat
warning for Israelis in India, local daily The Jerusalem Post reported
on its website.
According to the CTB, a Pakistani terror organization affiliated with
al-Qaida and responsible for last year's attacks in Mumbai is planning
to carry out a string of terror attacks throughout the Indian
subcontinent.
While all westerners in India are in peril of being targeted,
Israelis and places where Israelis usually congregate in large numbers
are in more serious danger, said the warning.
Consequently, the bureau asked all Israelis in India to steer clear
of places where Western tourists are found in large numbers, putting a
special emphasis on Chabad houses, popular with Israeli tourists
especially during the high holidays.
The CTB rated the threat as "imminent and concrete," placing especial
emphasis on the Jammu and Kashmir region in India's north. JERUSALEM,
