Security scare at Delhi’s airport Police are investigating “two sharp sounds that were heard at the airport”, the force told the BBC’s Delhi bureau. Earlier, airport officials told the BBC shots had been fired, and that several gunmen had been killed or injured. Security has been strengthened at Indian airports after warnings of possible attacks. Indian media reported that operations at Delhi’s main international airport appeared to have returned to normal after security forces examined the terminal after the security alert. Tensions have been high in India since last week when at least 10 gunmen went on a shooting spree in Mumbai, killing nearly 200 people. Indian officials have blamed Pakistan-based militants for the Mumbai attacks. |
