Israel fears more Mumbai-like attacks in India soon

By NNN-PTI,

Jerusalem (Israel) : Israel has warned that Pakistan- based Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT), which carried out the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, is planning “imminent” terror strikes across India especially in India’s northernmost state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Israel’s Counter-Terrorism Bureau at the National Security Council (NSC) in a travel warning for Israeli tourists in India rated the threat as “imminent and concrete”, putting special emphasis on the Jammu and Kashmir.

“The terrorist group that carried out the serious Mumbai attack in India is planning to carry out a number of attacks across India, particularly against concentrations of Western or Israeli tourists,” warned a statement from Israel’s counter-terrorism unit.

The bureau has recommended Israelis currently in India to avoid crowded areas, especially tourist areas, which have no apparent armed security.

The statement said the travel warning was based on “a concrete, very serious threat”.
