Indian Army warns of terror attacks ahead of President Obama's visit

Xinhua, January 15, 2015 Adjust font size:

The Indian Army on Thursday warned of terror attacks ahead of U.S. President Barack Obama's visit later this month.

"There are inputs that terrorists might try to attack soft targets, including schools and civilian areas ahead of the U.S. president's visit. Indian Army camps and important highways are also on their radar," Lieutenant General K.H. Singh, commander of Indian Army's 16 Corps, told the media.

"Nearly 200 militants in 36 launch pads across the Pir Panjal Range are waiting to infiltrate into India. However, our counter- infiltration posture is firmly in place and infiltration bids will be eliminated," Singh said.

The Indian Army is prepared all the time for any eventuality, he added.

President Obama will arrive in India on Jan. 25 on a three-day tour of this country, during which he will be the chief guest in the Republic Day celebrations. Endi
