Ahead of the new year, intelligence agencies have issued another terror alert - this time a more specific one which names some the key locations in the country that are on terror radar.

Sources say there are intelligence inputs that highly trained fidayeen (suicide attackers) have managed to sneak into India. These are Lashkar men trained by the Taliban.

Police and intelligence operatives are now looking for Pashtoons and Afghans.

The three cities of Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata have been put on what is being called the highest alert. The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), the Bombay stock Exchange (BSE), RSS offices, the US consulate in Kolkata and all important ports are on high alert.

The World Hockey Championships to be held in Delhi in February is also on the terror radar.
