2 IEDs found in Punjab and Kashmir after Lashkar Delhi terror plot warning

Two IEDs were found in Punjab and Kashmir as security agencies sounded a high alert, warning of a possible terror attack by Pakistan-based outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Delhi. While authorities have not linked the IED recovery to the terror plot warning, the timing of the incidents has raised concern.

In Punjab, an IED was found in a suspicious bag near the Rayya police post in Amritsar on Friday. Police said the bomb disposal squad was rushed to the spot and the IED was diffused.

"A suspicious bag was spotted close to the police chowk. Immediately, the bomb disposal squad was called, and they confirmed it as an IED. Later, as per the protocol, it was diffused," SSP Sohail Qasim Mir told India Today.
