BANGALORE, India, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Terror groups from Kashmir to Sri Lanka may have been behind Wednesday's terror attack in Bangalore.
One scientist was killed and three others seriously injured when unknown assailants opened fire inside the prestigious Indian Institute of Science (IISc) campus in the IT capital of India on Wednesday evening.
The Press Trust of India reported that three Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists usually active in Kashmir who were killed in Delhi in march had planned to attack software companies in Bangalore. PTi said the men had visited Bangalore in December 2004 and surveyed the locations of several software companies here. The news had shaken the police and software firms.
India's intelligence services also had information that other terror groups including the LTTE, or Tamil Tigers from Sri Lanka and the Naxalites from northeast India had established cells in Bangalore.
Only two days before Wednesday's attack, security police arrested three suspects in Delhi. Police then said they had foiled a terror plan to kill some leading politicians and target software parks, market places and railway stations across the country, PTI said.
