Two of Pakistan's international airports were put on high alert on Friday because of a terror threat, a security official said. "We have put Karachi and Lahore international airports on high-security alert after some specific aviation-related threats," Major Riaz Ahmad, a spokesman for the Airport Security Force, told Reuters.

"Security at both these airport has been beefed up on an intelligence report," he said without providing details. Earlier this week, the U.S. consulate in Karachi remained closed for three days after its officials received threatening telephone calls. It was not clear whether the threats were linked.
