No terror threat to Commonwealth Games: Chidambaram

New Delhi, Oct 1 (PTI) Government of India on Friday
dismissed as "baseless" reports of terror threat to the
Commonwealth Games, saying people should go for enjoying the
sporting extravaganza without fear.
Reacting to a report that terror outfit 'Brigade 313' was
to target the Games, Home Minister P Chidambaram said there
was no basis to believe it as the report was based on an old
input which was recycled.
"There is no basis that Brigade 313 or (Pak-based
wanted terrorist) Ilyas Kashmiri are targeting the
Commonwealth Games.... Kindly turn your attention towards the
game...enjoy the Games," he said.
The Home Minister said security for the Commonwealth
Games was reviewed from time to time and around 5,000
personnel of Central paramilitary forces have been deployed
for the Games which include BSF, CRPF and CISF. PTI ACB
