Indian authorities have put four Indian airports on high alert, reporting of an attempt to hijack one or more planes at Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore airports. The alerts come after a letter, which claimed terror groups might strike at the airports on December 6 and hijack a plane, was sent to an Indian news agency. The Defense Ministry reported that “credible intelligence” has indicated a plot to commandeer a jet at a provincial airport for an attack on a major city. Indian TV reported that the alert was issued after an email from Deccan Mujahedeen, the same group that claimed responsibility for the Mumbai attacks.
