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.”
