Security in Delhi has been increased following intelligence reports suggesting potential terrorist threats targeting temples and other religious sites in the national capital.
Intelligence sources have indicated that prominent religious sites in the Chandni Chowk and Red Fort areas are under the radar of Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), reported ANI.
The sources suggest that the LeT is planning a major attack using an improvised explosive device (IED) to avenge a February 6 blast at a mosque in Islamabad. Pakistan had alleged India links to the blast at a Shia mosque during Friday prayers, in which at least 31 people lost their lives. New Delhi has categorically dismissed the allegations.
"Blast alert in front of the Red Fort in Delhi. Terrorists may target a temple in Chandni Chowk. Lashkar-e-Taiba is plotting an IED attack. They are planning a major terrorist attack in India to avenge the February 6th mosque blast in Islamabad, Pakistan. Major temples in the country can be targeted by Lashkar-e-Taiba," intelligence sources were quoted as saying by the news agency.
