US warns of imminent terror attacks in New Delhi

New Delhi, May 1 (PTI) In a fresh advisory, the US
on Saturday warned of "imminent" terror attacks in New Delhi,
particularly in market places like Connaught Place, Greater
Kailash and Chandni Chowk, which are "attractive targets" for
terrorist groups.
"This Warden Message provides updated information
related to the April 21, 2010 Warden Message and additional
information related to the Travel Alert issued for India on
April 16, 2010," said the renewed advisory primarily intended
for American citizens in India.
It said there are "increased indications that
terrorists are planning imminent attacks in New Delhi."
The advisory noted that terrorists have targeted
places in the past where US citizens or Westerners are known
to congregate or visit.
"Markets such as those located in Chandni Chowk,
Connaught Place, Greater Kailash, Karol Bagh, Mehrauli, and
Sarojini Nagar, can be especially attractive targets for
terrorist groups," the advisory said.
It advised American citizens that if they are in an
area where unattended packages are spotted, they should
immediately exit the area and report the packages to
authorities.
"Americans travelling or residing in India are
strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance,
remain aware of their surroundings, monitor local news
reports, and take appropriate steps to bolster their personal
security," it said. PTI
