More than 140 alleged al-Qaida members may have sneaked into India from the western coast, using Sri Lankan fishing boats

In the past two weeks said about 140 alleged al-Qaida members may have sneaked into India from the western coast, using Sri Lankan fishing boats. Navy sources brushed aside the "alarmist" input, saying it was impossible for such a large number of people to reach Indian shores in foreign fishing vessels.
But the Assam police not just repeated their warning, they also gave more details on the al-Qaida plot, insisting that the terrorists had landed along the Gujarat-Maharashtra coast and dispersed to various parts of India. Some 30 of them were said to have gone to Rajasthan and 14 to Uttar Pradesh. About 15-20 may have gone to Hyderabad and 12 to Maharashtra. Of the remaining, 40 went to southern states and five to the Delhi/Haryana area. A few of them may have been killed in J&K in encounters in recent days, the Assam police input said. Sources within the security establishment, however, are doubtful of the claims. There was no corroboration from any other sources, they said.
