US, UK issue fresh travel alerts 
Warn of imminent terror attacks in New Delhi 

New Delhi, May 1
The US, UK and Australia today issued fresh advisories, warning 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.

Highly placed government sources said the advisories were being taken "seriously" and the Delhi Police had been asked to be on "full alert".

The US, in its Warden Message updated today, said there were "increased indications that terrorists are planning imminent attacks in New Delhi." The advisory, primarily intended for American citizens in India, said it provided 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.

"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.

In its advisory, the UK said, "At this time there are increased indications that terrorists are planning attacks in New Delhi.”

“You should be particularly conscious of security considerations in the vicinity of key government installations and tourist sites," the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office said. — PTI
