'Terrorists threaten to blast Taj Mahal'

A Pakistan-based terror group has reportedly threatened to attack the Taj Mahal.

Lashkar-e-Toiba is said to have made the threat in an email to the website of Rajnath Singh, the chief minister of India's Uttar Pradesh state.

Security is being stepped up around the 17th century monument.

Uttar Pradesh's Home Secretary Naresh Dayal told rediff.com: "Our experts are on the job and I am sure we will be able to track down this mail, which spells out an open threat to the chief minister and a few other prominent BJP leaders of the state.

"We have also enhanced the security in and around the Taj Mahal, which was mentioned as among Lashkar-e-Toiba's main targets."

Another Pakistan-based terrorist group, Jaish-e-Mohammed, has also threatened to carry out more attacks on Indian troops stationed in Kashmir.

India has blamed the two terrorist groups for the December 13 attack on parliament in which 14 people were killed, including all five attackers.
