MUMBAI: Police and security agencies here have got a specific alert — from the police of a north Indian state — about RDX having been smuggled into the country as part of a cement consignment from Pakistan and the target being an oil refinery.
Officials said the high alert sounded at vital installations like railway stations and hotels in Mumbai last December was not a reaction to the 26/11 carnage but had its basis in this specific intelligence input.
Officials also told TOI that more RDX could be coming in as part of cement or other consignments. But the alert did not name any refinery that was supposed to be the target.
That explained the reaction by the Delhi and Mumbai police during the days following the terror attacks on Mumbai. The two closest refineries to Delhi are at Panipat and Mathura. But most of the major refineries are near the coast, including those at Vishakhapatnam, Paradip and Jamnagar.
The alert also mentioned the railways as a possible “soft target''.
Several ports, especially those in Vishakhapatnam and Ennore (Tamil Nadu), were also on a high alert on Tuesday. Shipping officials met home ministry and IB officials, agencies reported.
ATS Joint Commissioner of Police, Rakesh Maria, was not available for comment and State Intelligence Chief, D Shivanandan, said he was not privy to the information.
Security was stepped up at all railway stations in the National Capital Region following the threat. The police deployed extra quick-reaction teams at the New Delhi railway station and other stations. "After 26/11, every input is taken seriously,'' said Delhi Police's DCP (Crime and Railways), Neeraj Thakur.
RDX is one of the most powerful military explosives if not the most explosive, and the component that makes C4.

Tomorrow the Liberal God will apologize to them too for America being mean. They only want peace; a piece of Boston, a piece of Chicago, another piece of NYC.
And here I thought that RDX was the name of that cheesy Acura SUV.
It's the only way to be sure.

Hope it is found before it is used.
