The Ahmedabad encounter

And the Srinagar confirmation

This is an archived blog post from The Acorn.

In a major breakthrough, a Lashker-e-Toiba module was busted in Srinagar with the killing of two militants and arrest of 18 who had planned attacks on Bombay Stock Exchange, strategic places in Delhi and elsewhere and had links with the four militants killed in an encounter in Ahmedabad on June 15, a top police official said on Tuesday. The module had planned to target the Bombay Stock Exchange, some strategic places in Delhi, Ahmedabad and Pune, top political leaders and police officers, Director General of Police Gopal Sharma said.

The Special Investigation Team of Srinagar district police also found a link between the module and the four LeT militants killed in Ahmedabad. [Indian Express] Getting carried away by the winds of political correctness is what makes India a soft target for terrorists.
