“Hotels told to keep eye on foreigners”
Dwaipayan Ghosh, TNN 16 November 2009, 12:43am IST
SNIPPET: “NEW DELHI: The David Headley case has spurred Delhi Police into stepping up its vigil on foreign tourists, even at the risk of harassing innocent
travellers and costing hotels business. Stung by the revelation that Headley stayed in Delhi earlier this year, and concerned about the security implications for events like the Commonwealth Games — which are expected to see thousands of foreign tourists pour into the capital — the cops have issued guidelines to hotel owners even as investigators have been visiting several cyber cafes and hotels in Paharganj.”
SNIPPET: “”The Karol Bagh blasts last year had forced us to introduce a slew of measures to enforce security in areas frequented by tourists. But, we did not introduce anything specific for foreign tourists. But, with the Headley case surfacing now, we have to be on our guard,” said a senior special cell officer.”

Security Increased at Indian Nuclear Sites Over Possible Attack Monday, Nov. 16, 2009
SNIPPET: “Security at nuclear power facilities in India has been boosted following indications that the sites might face a terrorism threat, Reuters reported today (see GSN, Aug. 17).
New Delhi put its nuclear sites on alert following reports that a U.S. citizen, arrested Oct. 3 in the United States in an unrelated case, had visited Indian states with nuclear facilities, the Press Trust of India reported.
“The step is precautionary in nature,” said an Indian Home Ministry official. “The states have been asked to increase the vigil and patrolling to thwart any sabotage attempt aimed at these vital facilities.”
A high-level agency official told Reuters that certain states have been urged to increase security around “vital installations.” No other details were provided.”

“Pakistani Terrorists Plotting New Attacks in India, Singh Warns”
Monday, Aug. 17, 2009
SNIPPET: “Extremists based in Pakistan might be plotting additional terror attacks in India, less than a year after gunmen killed roughly 170 people in Mumbai, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh warned today (see GSN, July 17).
“Continued vigilance” was necessary despite new safeguards implemented in the aftermath of the strikes on the Indian city, Singh told participants at a domestic security discussion in New Delhi.
“There is credible information of ongoing plans of terrorist groups in Pakistan to carry out fresh attacks,” Singh said without elaborating, according to the Associated Press.”
