The threat perception on vital installations in three coastal states Gujarat, Maharashtra and Goa has been increased manifold following intelligence reports of the banned Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) channelising huge amounts of money from its Gulf-based networks for terror strikes against the country.
According to a report in the 'Terrorism Monitor', a periodical published by the Virginia based Jamestown Foundation, intelligence authorities have revealed that the LeT’s marine wing is planning a repeat of the 26/11 Mumbai attack, and is on the look out for an incursion into India via the western sea-coast.
Recently, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram had also raised fears about terrorists using the sea route to strike at strategic locations along the western cost.
Intelligence authorities have also confirmed the Gulf link to terror in India.
