New Delhi: Days after Osama's killing, the threat perception is raised for Indian missions in Afghanistan. The Taliban has warned of a spring offensive.
US has also shut down its missions in Pakistan and now India has reviewed security for all its missions in Afghanistan.
Sources in the Indian embassy in Kabul say they have received specific intelligence of a terror strike being planned.
As a result there is an increased threat perception to the embassy and to the four consulates of Jalalabad, Herat, Kandahar and Mazhar-e-Sharief.
As of now no additional reinforcements have been sent in. But all consulates have been asked to be on alert.
