Security stepped up after terrorist warnings in Delhi
Security forces in Delhi have been placed on high alert after receiving warnings of a possible terrorist attack on the metro system.
The Islamic Terrorist group Indian Mujahideen is understood to have threatened a Mumbai-style attack some time during the first 10 days of 2014.
Security has been doubled across parts of the underground network in India’s capital and passengers are being frisked and having their bags searched on entry, reports the Daily Mail.
An additional threat has been received of a possible hijack attempt at Delhi Airport.
Extra Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs), bomb disposal experts and dog teams have been placed on standby with security increased at the most busy stations including Ashok Park Main, Inderlok, Kirti Nagar, Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate and Central Secretariat.
The British Foreign Office warns of a high threat from terrorism throughout India. Recent attacks have targeted public places including those visited by foreigners.
