Delhi targeted in fresh threat

The terror group which claimed responsibility for the Mumbai attacks is threatening a new wave of atrocities in Delhi, it was reported today.

Intelligence sources claimed to have received an email from the Deccan Mujahideen, warning of a repeat attack, targeting Delhi's main international airport and three main railway stations.

Police in the Indian capital have begun random checks on rickshaws after receiving specific intelligence that the three-wheeled vehicles would be used in a bombing campaign.

The Times of India today reported on the email, which warned "of a repeat of the Mumbai terror attack at Indira Gandhi International Airport and the three major railway stations" in Delhi. A senior airport official confirmed that the airport had stepped up its security.

Of course they have made threats - that's how terrorism works. Give a people one atrocity and its effects can be milked over the course of a dozen threats for the same, causing resentment throughout the populace and general civil unrest and uncertainty. It makes the government look inept and it radicalizes polar opinions. The IRA did it in NI as the Al Qaida have done in Iraq.

Continued costly chaos for the price of a 'communique'.
