India issues nationwide terror alert
Thousands of security personnel deployed following tip-offs that
Lashkar-e-Taiba is planning New Year attack

Indian authorities have deployed thousands of security personnel
following warnings that Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based militant
group, is planning an attack over the New Year weekend.
Police officers and paramilitaries were on high alert across the
country, including in India's financial capital, Mumbai, Indian
officials said. House-to-house searches were under way in some areas of
the city, which was attacked by Lashkar-e-Taiba in November 2008.
Airports and railway stations, the city of Ahmedabad in the western
state of Gujarat and the popular beach resort state of GOA were also on
high alert following the warning, said to be based on "human"
intelligence and received in recent days.
Most of the locations covered by the alert had been visited by David
Headley, a Pakistani-American and member of Lashkar-e-Taiba who
travelled widely in India before the Mumbai attack, one official told
the Guardian. Headley was tasked by the extremist group with
surveillance of targets in Mumbai itself but also visited Goa and the
city of Pune, where there was a blast in February.
