[history]
The police force in charge of security at Delhi's main airport has denied reports that people have been shot and injured there.
Police are investigating "two sharp sounds that were heard at the airport", the force told the BBC's Delhi bureau.
Earlier, airport officials told the BBC shots had been fired, and that several gunmen had been killed or injured.
Security has been strengthened at Indian airports after warnings of possible attacks.
Indian media reported that operations at Delhi's main international airport appeared to have returned to normal after security forces examined the terminal after the security alert.
Tensions have been high in India since last week when at least 10 gunmen went on a shooting spree in Mumbai, killing nearly 200 people.
Indian officials have blamed Pakistan-based militants for the Mumbai attacks.

i find it hard to believe that the only casualites were the shooters . . . but I pray that is the case
This is going to send the Indian public into a further rage . . . The Congress party of India is going to be forced into reacting IMO

Fox News reported just a moment ago that the reports are being retracted, and it’s being described as a “minor incident” in which no one was shot.
To: Abathar
Fox saying BBC wrong. No one shot. Minor incident.

Sky News is now reporting that there were no shootings at DEL.

If India goes to war with Pakistan then the islamic terrorists have achieved what they wanted. The islamic terrorists main strategy is to push Pakistan for a war or at least very high tension situation with India so they have much more freedom to what ever they want inside Pakistan, to recruit more terrorists, and eventually launch much more destructive terrorist attacks on our US soils, in Europe, and elsewhere. They may also be able to overthrow the Pakistani government and then Taliban/Al Qaeda terrorists will be in control of a nuclear arsenal.
