" Letter threatens to blow up Taj Mahal By BISWAJEET BANERJEE, Associated Press WriterFri Aug 18, 8:15 AM ET Police in northern India have heightened security around the Taj Mahal after receiving a letter threatening to blow up the monument, officials said Friday. Sandbag bunkers have been set up outside the towering entrance gates leading to the 17th century monument and soldiers belonging to an anti-terrorist squad have been posted on 24-hour duty, said Ashok Kumar, a senior government official in Uttar Pradesh state where the Taj Mahal is located. Police were investigating a handwritten letter purportedly sent by an al-Qaida supporter, saying the terrorist group planned to carry out blasts at the Taj Mahal. Police were skeptical about the letter, but had begun investigations, Kumar said Friday. "Police are verifying the source of the letter," he said. "The letter could be false but we cannot afford to be complacent. We are not taking any chances and have enhanced security at the Taj." "The letter, signed by someone calling himself Mohammed Mirza and claiming to be associated with the al-Qaida, was received at the office of the superintendent of police in Agra on Thursday," Kumar said. "The letter said the al-Qaida had plans to carry out blasts at the Taj Mahal and around busy markets of Agra," he said. Meanwhile, as part of the new security drill, tourists have been warned not to carry any liquids, including bottles of mineral water, to the fabled white marble structure, located in the city of Agra, 130 milesfrom the Indian capital, New Delhi. At least 100 additional paramilitary soldiers armed with automatic weapons have been posted at strategic points on the outer periphery of the Taj Mahal complex, said a top police officer. Police have also begun work on a dossier of residents living within 500 meters (yards) radius of the monument, said Dipesh Juneja, superintendent of police in Agra. "This will help the police spot any new entrants or visitors to the area," Juneja said over telephone. As part of special security arrangements for the monument, the state government has asked the federal civil aviation authorities and India's air force to declare a no-fly zone over a four 2.5-mile radius around the Taj Mahal, said N. C. Bajpei, Uttar Pradesh's topmost official. The majestic domed monument was built by the Mogul Emperor Shah Jehan between 1632 and 1654 for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It houses their graves and a mosque, as well as several other graves of lesser Mogul royalty. Nearly 2.5 million tourists visited the Taj Mahal last year, according to official estimates."

I could have sworn that the Taj Mahal was pretty much a mosque built by the mogul empire.

8/19/2006 3:37:14 AM

and it has half of the koran engraved onto its surface

8/19/2006 3:43:24 AM

so wouldn't islamic terrorists attacking the taj mahal be tantamount to a catholic bombing a cathedal?

8/19/2006 4:17:07 AM

or an nc state student hacking the wolf web!

8/19/2006 10:52:02 AM

hahaha, since when did al qaeda start warning people with letters about potential attacks?

and also considering ^ and ^^

this is obviously by someone who hates muslims and wants to malign their name and position in india much further, such as RSS, Shiv Sena, etc (hindu militant organizations).

8/19/2006 11:40:14 AM

haha...since muslims have such a good name around the world and everything...

Islam already has a well-deserved shit-reputation.

Hopefully this beautiful monument isn't destroyed.

8/19/2006 12:34:47 PM

Its a tomb/mosque/national symbol of diversity...and if it were attacked ...

8/19/2006 3:01:30 PM

Muslims would never blow up a mosque , cept in Iraq where that happens every other day

NO, READING IS STILL KEY, YOU BUSH COCK-SUCKER.

I wasn't talking about Islam's image, I was talking about the image and position of Muslims in India.

From what I know from my Indian friends, Muslims face some troubles, especially when they go for renewal of passports, getting of visas, and other government affairs and documents. And somewhat with the police too.

And with a letter like that, that's only going to make it worse. (phone-tapping, surveilance, spying, etc)

8/19/2006 4:56:04 PM

There are more Muslims in India than there are in Pakistan, its not like they are a small minority there.

8/19/2006 5:39:30 PM

that's like saying there are more blacks in South Carolina then there are in Tongo. That means the blacks in south carolina aren't a minority right?

With a population of over a billion, it doesn't matter if India has more muslims than pakistan. They will still be a small minority.

so there

8/20/2006 1:50:44 PM

Are you my fucking secretary or my fucking wife that you know who my friends are, and who aren't? Fucking idiot.

Yes, I have Indian friends, American friends, British friends, a Serbian friend, and more. Oh wait, aren't these people supposed to be my enemies??

I am not a fucking liar, OK. For example, I DON'T have a Jewish friend or an Israeli friend, as much as would like to have one.

So go suck Bal Thackeray's and Narendra Modi's cock, appamali, and you can join him, trikk311.

Attention all. See trikk311's post above. That is not what it said before the edit. In fact, it said something the complete opposite:

"Of course it was made up, I made that clear. My point is that anybody can make up stories like 0EPII1 and say they are true."

So, trikk311 is a COMPLETE FUCKING LIAR, and should never be listened to again in the Soap Box.

8/20/2006 5:46:23 PM

haha...nope...i never said that...i cant believe you wold make that up....and just because i dont put it in bold doesnt make it any less true


OEP is a complete liar and should never be listened to in soapbox again

ass-backwards liberal idiot

Not that being a liberal is an insult.

8/20/2006 5:52:19 PM

and you didnt catch it...admit it

and im just proving my point...that OEP comes on here and acts like the authority on public sentiment in india by claiming to have friends there who speak for the whole country...well im not buying it...thats all...thanks for playing

if you are going to claim that this letter is what salis would call a "false flag" operation...come with some proof....dont just say "because my indian friends say so"...or that "it probably is"
