US warns of imminent terror attacks in New Delhi

New Delhi, May 01: In a fresh advisory, the US today 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 U.S. 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.
