LeT update

After yesterday’s arrests of nine men off Sir Creek, the Gujarat coast is now reported to be on high alert for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) activity. Villages and towns north of Mandvi and Koteshwar ports are particularly being watched by Indian security and intelligence personnel.

The LeT, in an act of desperation, has also reportedly asked the people of Jammu & Kashmir to not watch television because it is an “unislamic” activity.
