| October 16, 2009 | Israeli travel advisory says India under terror threat | | Jerusalem:
Israel's Counter-Terrorism Bureau has issued a new travel advisory asking its citizens to be wary about travelling to India, specifically the Chabad houses and synagogues across the country. The warning states that there is a concrete terror threat at places frequented by Israelis. According to the Jerusalem Post, the warning comes in the wake of new intelligence received by Israeli officials
indicating that a Global Jihad group had teamed up with the Pakistani terror cell
responsible for the 2008 Mumbai massacre for a fresh attack. The Chabad House
or Nariman House was one of the targets of the 2008 Mumbai attacks in which 166
people were killed. Israel strongly advised its citizen in India to avoid those
places if they aren't secured with armed guards. The bureau also issued a separate
advisory against visiting the Kashmir region in the north of the country. In September,
a similar warning had said that a Pakistani terror organization affiliated with
al-Qaida was planning to carry out a string of attacks throughout the Indian subcontinent. | |
