Centre tipped off on possible militant attack: Mumbai police chief

Police Commissioner M N Singh on Thursday said the Centre had been warned by the Mumbai police some days back about a possible terrorist attack on Parliament.

Singh told reporters that the Centre had been briefed about a terrorist conspiracy following information gathered on the basis of the interrogation of Mohammed Afroz, a suspected Al Qaeda militant, who was nabbed in Navi Mumbai recently.

The police commissioner was reacting to attacks on Parliament by suspected militants on Thursday morning.

Meanwhile, security has been tightened all over the metropolis following the terrorist attacks.
