Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday warned that
intelligence agencies believe Islamic militant groups are planning
more attacks in India, and said the targets could include economic,
religious and nuclear sites.
Intelligence reports suggest that terrorist cells exist in some
of India's major cities and pose a serious threat to the country's
security, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in a speech at a
conference on internal security in New Delhi.
The prime minister's warning follows similar concerns expressed
by India's defence minister and the country's national security
adviser after a series of train bombings in Mumbai left more than
207 people dead on July 11.
Singh said the assailants may use "suicide bombers," and could
launch "attacks on economic and religious targets," as well as
"nuclear establishments, army camps and the like."
9 arrested in Denmark for terror plot
Also Tuesday, Danish security police arrested nine men suspected
of plotting to carry out a terrorist bomb attack in the Nordic
country.
Justice Minister Lene Espersen said most of the men are Danish
citizens and that police had acted after discovering several of the
group had collected materials to make explosives.
She gave no details about the potential target of an attack.
Reports in Danish media said the men were aged between 18 and
35. Earlier, police had said they were all aged under 30. They were
arrested early Tuesday morning in Denmark's third largest city,
Odense.
