Indian intelligence forces have released a warning that a terrorist organization will attempt to attack Jewish and Israeli targets in the country.Indian Army intelligence received specific information about plans to attack Jewish institutions, such as a synagogue in the southern state of Kerala. Places where there is a high concentration of Israeli travelers, such as Chabad houses throughout the country, have also been placed on alert.As a result, Indian forces are increasing the security around Jewish institutions and places with lots of Israeli travelers.Early last month, Indian security authorities raised the security alert in New Delhi's capital following information that a terrorist cell would attempt to carry out attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets over the coming High Holy Days.
