SKY NEWS: British tourists travelling to India have been warned to be on their guard amid reports of a terrorist plot against Westerners.
Pakistani militants are planning a wave of strikes at tourist sites including Delhi, Mumbai and Goa in the south, according to reports.
The Foreign Office updated its travel advice - advising travellers to be extra vigilant on days of national significance including Diwali on October 17.
The level of threat remains unchanged at "high".
The warning follows news that Israel has warned its citizens to avoid the country completely.
According to Israeli media - including the country's Channel Two - intelligence sources believe al Qaeda operatives are planning to target Western and Jewish tourists.
The plots are said to be styled on the attacks in Mumbai last November when 10 gunmen went on the rampage.
Mumbai's anti-terrorism force said they had been liaising with Israel over the intelligence. >>> | Friday, September 18, 2009
