– INDIAN POLICE AFTER KOLKATA TERROR CELL
Anti-terror police units are on a desperate hunt to track down INDIAN Mujahideen – IM hideouts and neutralize sleeper cells said to be preparing for a major attack in the city media reports, on Friday 04/30/2010, said.
Intelligence inputs on the ‘imminent threat’ and a group of IM operatives sneaking into Bengal have sent the administration into battle mode. There have been several high-level meetings over the last two days to thwart the attack. Chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee was personally briefed on Thursday on the state’s preparedness.
According to sources, the first tip-off about the terror plan came from a foreign intelligence agency a couple of days ago (see – Alert 04.24.10). With its help, the police intercepted telephone conversations that led them to believe an IM team has entered Bengal, possibly from Bangladesh (see -Kolkata-Corridor). But the IM module is yet to get the logistics to carry out the attack and is trying to meet counterparts in Kolkata who will give them arms and ammunition, officials said.
Intelligence agencies have got hold of information on some of those who will meet the INDIAN Mjahideen – IM team from across the border but have not managed to track them. Kolkata Police’s Special Task Force believes two members of IM’s Nepal module had conducted surveillance earlier this year.
The possible target may be the airport or a Kali temple, sources said. “But the information on possible targets may well have been be planted to mislead police. We are keeping a constant eye out for all possibilities,” said an officer.
Home secretary Ardhendu Sen held a high-level meeting with officers of Kolkata Police, superintendents of state hospitals and Kolkata Municipal Corporation to look at the state’s preparedness in case of a terror strike. The status of hospitals, ambulances and blood banks was reviewed so that the administration can spring into action in case of any eventuality.
The alert issued amide a meeting, on Thursday 04/29/2010, between the Indian and Pakistani PMs. There is a pattern that whenever the Indian-Pakistani relations heat up and threats are replaced by peace negotiation, a mysterious hand committed yet another terror attack in India (see – Karachi-Project ).
