 Kolkata on terror alert

December 04, 2008 12:16 IST

Kolkata's security agencies are in a tizzy over reports of a possible terrorist strike in the city, especially after four mobile SIM cards used by the terrorists, who struck Mumbai, were said to have been acquired in West Bengal.
 

Top police sources told rediff.com late on Wednesday night that intelligence sources had intercepted a telephone conversation in a locality near West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee's home on December 1.

Sources said the conversation was about attacks on Kolkata's Victoria Memorial, Nicco Park and Salt Lake Central Park. Investigations in this matter are underway.

Kolkata police officials are also worried about the city's links with a Bangladesh-based terror outfit, Yahya. This outfit provides constant support to all Lashkar-e-Tayiba operations, intelligence sources said.

A massive hunt in the city and its adjoining areas is on to trace the buyers of the SIM cards that were used by the terrorists involved in the Mumbai attacks.

Meanwhile, the police are said to have detained a number of mobile phone outlet owners in several parts of south and south central Kolkata.

Intelligence sources also claimed that a module of Bangladesh-based Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami (HuJI), which has close ties with the Lashkar, has entered West Bengal, and has held secret meetings to plan how to unleash terror in the state.

if anything happens like that,I request all kolkotans to make sure that u fix the terrorist appoitment to god before they can do any harm.Let them know our power.
 

Thanks  Jeet..

Kolkata  has  been  a favourite  shelter  for  terrotists  all over  india.they  perform  their task  elsewhere  &  take refuge  here.Perhaps,  they  have  great  confidence  in  Inactiveness  of our  Security  system. That  ilself a  testimony  where  we  stand !!!!

so  far  we  have  been  very  fortunate but  how  long ..

We  need  to  be  shaken to get up  from deep Sleep.....

It's d fact that we think that we're very much fortunate or safe as compared 2 other regions of India or world at large from the terrorists which is not true as b'coz the terrorists r d enemy of mankind & they only want is huge destruction and devastation.

So we really hav 2 take d responsibility and keep peace.

 

I dont think they will attack on kolkata
