Mumbai in the eyes of possible Lashkar-e-Toiba terror attack

#Intelligencereport #Mumbai #terrorattack #searoute Intelligence reports have been provided to the Mumbai Police about the possibility of a terror attack by Lashkar-e-Toiba militants on the financial capital of Mumbai. The intelligence inputs suggest that there could be a group of 8-10 militants and they could sneak in through the sea route. Their probable targets could be hotels of railway stations.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 14 April 2015.

The fears have been expressed because of the release of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi from Pakistani jail of the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. He was a commander of the LeT.
It may be recalled that in 2008, a seaborne assault was carried out by Pakistani gunmen on Mumbai, the nation`s financial capital. There were a total of 10 Pakistani gunmen who arrived on a rubber boat in Mumbai. Subsequently, they carried out a commando-style assault on two luxury hotels, a train station and a Jewish center in which a total of 166 people of different nationalities were killed.
After the attack that caught the security people by surprise, India has upgraded coastal security, invested heavily on patrol vessels, helicopters and building a coastal radar network to prevent a similar attack.
However, the fact remains that many of the CCTVs installed at critical locations do not function, there are gaping holes in the boundary walls of railway stations and the Indian common man is still too simple – they can be taken for a ride very easily by smooth operators. Even the police who are detailed to man the check points do not know what exactly they are looking for.
