The state department in the notice said that In India there is a continuing threat of terrorism as attacks have randomly targeted public places frequented by Westerners.

UNITED STATES has issued a fresh warning in India, Pakistan and Middle East about a fresh terrorist attack. The information was passed on Thursday. US has also asked these countries to stay alert and take precautionary measures so as to avoid another terror attack from taking place.

The notice was issued as a “worldwide caution” by the state department, which testified it by saying that it has received specific information about terrorist cells in South and Central Asia. The attack, as anticipated by the US intelligence says that there is a possibility that these will be either carried out in India or Pakistan against US government facilities, citizens or its interests.

The state department in the notice said that In India there is a continuing threat of terrorism as attacks have randomly targeted public places frequented by Westerners, including luxury and other hotels, trains, train stations, markets, cinemas, mosques, and restaurants in large urban areas. The organisations that the US government fears may possibly carry out the attacks are al-Qaida, Taliban elements, LeT, home bred sectarian groups and other such organisations.

The department supported its findings by adding that terrorists and their accomplices have demonstrated their willingness to attack Americans or Westerners. The obvious methods of attack have been identified as vehicle-borne explosives, improvised explosive devices, assassinations, carjacking, rocket attacks, assaults or kidnappings.
