Terror plot foiled in Ambala, over 5 kg explosives recovered

[nrj]

A possible terror attack was foiled just days before the Diwali festival with the recovery of over 5kg explosives and detonators from a car parked outside the Ambala Cantt Railway Station, police said on Thursday.

Acting on a tip-off, a joint police team of Delhi and Haryana found
the explosives in a blue Indica car parked outside the railway station on Wednesday night.

"Five detonators, two timer devices, five kg explosives in two packets and two batteries were seized from the car lying parked outside the railway station," Haryana's director general of Police, Ranjiv Dalal, who along with senior officials of Haryana Police rushed to the spot, said.
Bomb disposal squads were summoned from Madhuban and other neighbouring places.

A box of sweets was found lying in the car, which showed that it was purchased from Jammu's Bari Brahmna area besides two newspapers from Jammu and Kashmir.

The car was bearing a fake Haryana registration number and police suspect that it was a stolen one.

When asked if the intended target of the terror plot could have been Delhi, Dalal said, "Senior officers from various investigating and security agencies are here. We are probing every angle".

As the cantonment area is also located in Ambala, police would also be probing if the target could have been a military installation in the region.

The explosives have been sent for forensic test and a team of National Security Guard (NSG) from Delhi has been rushed to the spot, police said, adding the nature of explosives was being studied.

Security agencies will be going through the CCTV footages available at various toll barriers in Punjab and Haryana through which the car may have passed, police sources said.

After recovery of the explosives, security personnel thoroughly checked the car, which was bearing the registration number HR-O3-R-0055.http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ambala-terror-plot-foiled-5-kilos-of-explosives-seized-from-car-at-railway-station-140746&cp

Intelligence sources said the RDX was not yet in IED (Improvised Explosive Detonator) form; it was not connected to any detonator or timer and so the blue Indica Car seemed to have been a carriage vehicle bound for a terror attack somewhere else.

That, investigating agencies believe, could well have been near-by Delhi, especially with Diwali round the corner.

The car and the RDX is being brought to Delhi in a truck. The investigating agencies are trying to trace the owner of the car, which has a Haryana registration number which the police suspect could be fake. The car too could be stolen, they say. A sweet box with a Jammu address was also found inside the car.

Security has been stepped up and the Ambala railway station has been cordoned off. All roads in the area have been closed temporarily. Special teams of the Delhi and Haryana police and the NSG are handling investigations

well done!

a very sensitive location.

 

[SPIEZ]

While the security forces have done a very good job, I don't feel the media will give them a pat in the back, which they do deserve.
If this,on the other hand, had failed and, God forbid, the explosion had taken place, the media would have been all over them like a hound of dogs

Indeed this is a catch. Well done Delhi/Haryana Police!

You saved possible mayhem in Delhi/Ambala AFB during diwali....

The explosives have allegedly come from Jammu and Kashmir and were either supplied towards Delhi or were meant for a major blast in Ambala itself as it had major oil refinery depot, IAF base and also several crowded points.

it was said to have a connection with the recent blast at Delhi High Court as the vehicle was being zeroed in on by the Delhi police.

Well done.

What is BKI?

 

[Yusuf]

What is BKI?

Babbar Khalsa International.

 

[Daredevil]

It seems ISI trying to re-kindle Khalistan insurgency. But as usual they will fail in their efforts. How long does these d!ckheads need to understand this.

BKI is a thing of the past, isn't it? Unless you count stooping aged bearded Sikhs in Canada!

Don't tell me there are still traces of BKI at home? :shocked:

Obviously it's our friendly neighbor or groups supported by our friendly neighbors.

Hope DIG"G" doesn't release a press statement saying it was RSS.

there are traces, though extremely far and few in between, each time there's a terror attack in delhi, bki and affiliates are always suspected. i think this year or last, two of their members planning a terror attack were nabbed.

all sikh terrorists who ran away during the terror days in punjab are living lavish lives outside india, funded by sikhs living west, who left india donkey years ago and have nothing to do with sikhs living in punjab!

i have seen how the misguided sikh youth of punjab took to arms, just to prove their manhood, nothing else!

i have never understood how stupid these sikh youth could be brain washed by isi across the border?

anyway coming back to the topic, ISI is using BKI because there are some elements of BKI living in pakistan and have nothing else to do!

these BKI elements cant leave pakistan and go anywhere else, either india or west! so these BKI elements have no choice but to follow isi orders.

in the end, any terrorist who comes to india, irrespective of their religion......will be shot dead!

 

[K Factor]

I am wondering why an ambush was not set up to nab the terrorists when they came to recover the vehicle or the explosives.
They wouldn't want to abandon 5 kg of high explosives so easily!
