Top officials with access to intelligence inputs
have warned that al Qaeda has apparently joined hands with Indian
terror outfits like the SIMI to plan a series of bombings in the
country during the festival season. The two groups were found
to have joined forces when investigators discovered their roles
in the recent Burdwan (West Bengal) and Bijnor (Uttar Pradesh)
blasts. A top official said "To impart a big blow in India, al
Qaeda and SIMI had chosen the month of October and their motive
was to conduct a series of bombings on Dussehra and Eid-ul-Adha."
However, the accidental blast in Burdwan in West Bengal put paid
to the terrorists' bombings plan and they could not carry out
any bombings on these occasions, the official added. "But Diwali
(October 23) might be on their radar and any Indian city could
be targeted by these outfits on this festival," the official said.

It guides on details like location of the hideout, lifestyle to
