Security tightened in Delhi after alert about possible fidayeen attack

NEW DELHI:
Security has been beefed up at various parts of the National Capital following an alert by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) that Pakistan-based terrorists belonging to the Jaish-e-Mohammed may launch a ‘fidayeen’ (suicide) attack at areas in Delhi.
Delhi Police have been issued an alert by the IB which said the attack may be similar to that on an Army camp on the Jammu-Pathankot highway in Samba district in Jammu and Kashmir.
The police have been alerted to take all the necessary measures to foil any terrorist attack in the national capital.
According to sources in the police, the advisory from the IB said that ”JeM has plans to carry out a terror attack in Delhi which may be similar to the fidayeen attack in Samba.”
Terrorists belonging to the JeM stormed a police station in Kathua district in the Jammu region on March 20, resulting in the death of three security personnel and two civilians and injuries to 11 persons, including a Deputy Superintendent of Police.  (AGENCIES)
