Indian police today warned that three Pakistani terrorists with arms, ammunition and a possible suicide belt may target Delhi and Mumbai.
"Their target could be in Delhi, Goa and Mumbai," said the Punjab Police alert sent out to officers, according to India Today.
"You are directed to take all the necessary steps in this regard.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pencilled in to arrive and lay a wreath at Mumbai's Taj Palace Hotel on Sunday.
The hotel was hit by a devastating terror attack in 2008 that killed 166 people and injured more than 300.
They are due to be in New Delhi by Monday, Kaziranga by Tuesday, Bhutan by Thursday and the Taj Mahal by Saturday (April 16).
Prince William's mum Diana was famously pictured at the iconic monument.
The potential of an imminent attack in India follows information from Pakistan intelligence officials that 10 Pakistani terrorists could infiltrate their neighbours.
Security agencies launched a nationwide manhunt and the government claimed that three terrorists were killed.
However, specific details about the operation were not made public.
