September 18, 2009, 5:55 PM (GMT+02:00) The counter-terror center in Jerusalem has warned Israelis travelling in India to attend the Jewish New Year events this weekend only at sites which are competently secured. Terrorist groups are reported seeking out sites popular with Western tourists, including Jewish centers in all parts of India. The Pakistani group which attacked hotels and the Habad center in Mumbai last November is cited. Indian officials report they are liaising with Israel over the threats and have tightened security for tourists in the past year. A special warning went out to Habad centers, which play host to Israeli and Jewish tourists, especially on festivals, and this year hired an Israeli security firm for extra protection.
