| Five terrorists reported to be hiding in Delhi | | | New Delhi | Aug 9
In a sensational revelation, intelligence sources have said that five hardcore Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists are hiding in the national capital and may strike at sensitive areas in Delhi particularly during the Independence Day celebrations.
Their prime target is believed to be Chandni Chowk, which is very close to Red Fort, where Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will unfurl the tricolour on Independence Day.
The militants may also target busy market places like Karol Bagh, Sarojini Nagar market, as well as bus and railway stations, said the sources.
According to the information available to Zee News, one LeT militant – reportedly identified as Jaffer - has sent five terrorists via Jammu and Kashmir into the capital. Three of them have been identified as Zahoor, Altaf and Khurshid.
Another person, identified as Ayoub Itoo, is believed to have been involved in supplying necessary materials like RDX and money to the terrorists.
Following the information, all 10 districts of Delhi have been put on high alert. Police has been instructed to conduct random checks in various areas. Cops are keeping a strict vigil in market places, bus and railway stations. Dog squads have also been deputed in railway stations to sniff out dangerous materials.
All the district DCPs have been told to keep a close watch on the movements of extremists and suspects moving in and out of Delhi.
Recently, the Delhi Police had made it mandatory for bicycle buyers to produce document proofs to establish their identity.
The step was taken in view of the use of cycle bombs during Ahmedabad blasts.
In Ahmedabad serial blasts, terrorists had used tiffin boxes on bicycles and placed them in crowded markets to cause maximum damage. |
