State warned of terror attacks
Central Intelligence agencies have warned the Karnataka government of a major terror strike in Bangalore. As per the information received by the Karnataka government, terrorists will target the Vidhan Soudha which houses both the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council.
The input received by the Intelligence Bureau also speaks of a specific threat to hospitals in Bangalore and key personalities in the state.
Home Minister Dr V S Acharya while confirming this said security has been beefed up all over the state, especially at the installations that were mentioned by the IB.
He said the Central Intelligence had passed on this information to the state government a couple of days back and the government has already begun acting on the same. "Adequate measures have been taken by the police department and our security forces are on high alert," he added.
Bangalore has always been a pet target for terrorists. The city was rocked by serial blasts last year. The major terror strike in Bangalore was the attack on the Indian Institute of Science by the Lashkar-e-Tayiba. Karnataka has been utilized by terror groups to set up sleeper cells. Several deadly meetings of the Indian Mujahideen were held in Karnataka following which the serial blasts rocked the entire nation.
