Delhi On Alert Over LeT IED Threat
Security agencies in Delhi have intensified vigilance following intelligence inputs warning of a possible improvised explosive device (IED) attack allegedly being planned by Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The alert has led to heightened monitoring in sensitive and high-footfall areas of the national capital.

According to security inputs, Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives may be planning an IED attack in the Chandni Chowk area, one of Delhi’s busiest commercial and tourist hubs.
