| April 9, 2010 | Security beefed up in Udaipur after Al Qaeda email threat | | Udaipur: Police have tightened security around the famous Udaivilas Palace hotel in Udaipur after the hotel manager received a threatening email from Al Qaeda. The email was sent on behalf of Abdullah Rahman, claiming to be the Secretary General of Al Qaeda, to Raj Singh Sisodia on Wednesday threatening a suicide attack. The email stated that the Oberoi group-owned hotel, located
on the banks of Lake Pichola, is second on the "black list" among the various
hotels that Al Qaeda would bomb this year. "Today, we have received a complaint
from Mr. Raj Singh Sisodia, manager of the Oberoi Group that some Abdullah Rahman
of so-called Al Qaeda gave a threat to the Hotel Mangaer that a suicide bomber
would explode the hotel," said T L Meena, Inspector General of Police. "We have
registered this complaint and are inquiring into the matter. We have made suitable
arrangements for security, like erecting check posts, watch towers and mounting
vigil. We have also intensified patrolling of the area," he added. The Oberoi
Hotel in Mumbai was among the three luxury hotels targeted during the deadly November
26, 2008 terror attacks. | |
