Pakistan terror alert for Wagah border checkpoint

[ITGuy]

New Delhi: Pakistan Rangers, who guard the Wagah check post - a key trading post between India and Pakistan - are on alert. The increased deployment of the Pakistan Rangers came after an alert issued by the Pakistan security agencies, saying the trading post could be targetted by terrorists. The alert comes at a time when India and Pakistan are trying to normalise relations; increased trade between the two countries form the bulwark of that process. Earlier too, terrorist groups like the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) have carried out attacks to derail improving ties between India and Pakistan. Sources tell NDTV that Pakistan security agencies issued an alert about six days ago which said that the trading post could be attacked. However, this isn't the first time that Pakistan has issued such an alert. About a year and half ago, a similar alert had been issued. Pakistan then, it is learnt, feared an attack from the Teherek-e-Taliban Pakistan. However, that threat for the Wagah check and trading point did not materialise.
