HuJI threatens to attack Pak High Commission in India

Islamabad, Jul 10 (PTI) The al-Qaeda-linked terror
group HuJI has threatened to attack Pakistan's Foreign Office,
its High Commission in India and top diplomats if Islamabad
does not stop sharing information about it with New Delhi,
according to a media report Sunday.
Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami has threatened it will
attack the Foreign Office, the Foreign Secretary, Pakistan's
High Commission in New Delhi and High Commissioner Shahid
Malik if its demand is not met, the Dawn newspaper quoted
police sources as saying.
The terrorist group warned the Foreign Office to ask
Pakistan's High Commission in New Delhi to stop sharing
details and information about HuJI with the Indian government,
the report said.
The warning was given through a handwritten letter
addressed to Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir, it said.
The letter in Urdu was sent by mail to Bashir's
residence in Sector F-6 of Islamabad a few days ago.
Senior police officers met Bashir to inquire about the
letter. Police officers analysed the letter and confirmed that
it had been sent by HuJI, the daily quoted its sources as
saying.
Police also found out the letter was mailed from
within Islamabad.
A team of police commandos has been deployed at
Bashir's residence and he has been provided police protection.
A strict vigil was mounted around Bashir's house, the
Foreign Office and roads leading to the two places.

to have masterminded the Mumbai attacks and a terrorist
assault on a naval airbase in Karachi, was reportedly killed
in a US drone attack in South Waziristan tribal region last
month. PTI RHL
