"Aiports On Terror Alert"
Updated: 22:56, Sunday November 12, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Airports across India have been placed on high alert following a warning that a Europe or US-bound plane could be hijacked, according to reports.

The FBI has said all flights to the US from India are now subject to extra security checks because of the terror threat."

We're still monitoring (via public information on the internet) these threats so, updates appreciated.

"INDIA: AIRPORTS AND FLIGHTS TO U.S. ON HIGH ALERT"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "New Delhi, 13 Nov. (AKI/Asian Age) - America's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has sent a communication to India's Intelligence Bureau (IB)warning against an "imminent" terrorist threat, probably in the form of a hijack on US-bound flights from Indian airports. The FBI received an email that is believed to have originated from India, warning of terror attacks.

Following the alert that was conveyed on Saturday, the IB informed the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), which promptly despatched a communication to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which is responsible for guarding airports in India. Airports across the country and airlines operating flights to the United States have also been alerted. Security has been beefed up further."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The latest terror alert follows the one on November 9 when an anonymous letter was found at Trichy airport in Tamil Nadu, warning that AL-Qaeda would "blast Chennai airport like the airports in Thailand". The note also warned of attacks on Trichy, Madurai and Coimbatore airports, as well as airports in Kerala."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A TV report had said that an Internet centre in the US had received an email warning that a plane flying from India to a destination in Europe or the United States could be hijacked. This email was then passed on to the FBI, which in turn informed the Indian authorities, the TV report added.
