Lashkar-e-Toiba planning to attack Mumbai: Reports

Zee Media Bureau

Mumbai: Just days after 2008 Mumbai terror attack mastermind and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi was released from Pakistan jail, reports on Tuesday said that the terror outfit is again planning to attack Mumbai.



Intelligence agencies have alerted the Mumbai Police of a possible terror attack by LeT militants, reports said.

Reports say that a letter has been sent by the intelligence agencies to the city police saying that Pakistan-based terror outfit LeT is planning to send at least 8-10 militants to target the financial capital of the counrty.

The LeT recruits are expected to sneak into the city through the sea route.

The letter also states that the LeT has plans to target hotels, railway stations in the financial hub.

India`s vulnerability to terror attacks along its long coastline was exposed in 2008 after the seaborne assault by Pakistani gunmen on Mumbai, the nation`s financial capital.

Ten Pakistani gunmen arrived on a rubber boat in Mumbai for the commando-style assault on two luxury hotels, a train station and a Jewish centre that killed 166 people in 2008.

Since the attack, India has upgraded coastal security, invested heavily on patrol vessels, helicopters and building a coastal radar network.

Last week, fifty five-year-old Lakhvi, who guided 10 LeT gunmen from a control room in Pakistan during 26/11 attacks, walked free after a Pakistani court ordered his release.

Lakhvi, a close relative of LeT founder and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, was arrested in December 2008 and was indicted along with the six others on November 25, 2009 in connection with the 26/11 attacks in which over 300 people were also injured. The trial has been underway since 2009.

That's what is being done. There's a system being developed to monitor all coastal ships off Indian coasts. Hopefully it should be on.
