Republic Day Isis Threat

Security officials went on high alert after a note was found warning of an ISIS attack on Mumbai Airport's Air Cargo Complex (ACC) on Republic Day or "anytime", official sources said on Wednesday

A multi-layer security blanket has been thrown around the national capital as India celebrates its 67th Republic Day today. French President Francois Hollande, the chief guest at this year's celebration, witnessed the grand parade in the heart of the capital along with President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

A Jet Airways flight from Delhi to Kathmandu was grounded before take-off after an anonymous caller claimed a "gift on a seat' and chillingly signed off saying "Happy Republic Day".

With just three days to go before French President Franoics Hollande arrives in India, Indian and French negotiators are still haggling over the price of 36 combat Rafale planes for the ageing Indian Air Force.

India's Republic Day celebration, which will feature French President Francois Hollande as chief guest this year, faces a "real threat" from the terror group ISIS, sources say.

Just days after the first such threat did not translate into an attack, ground handling staff found two more messages warning of an ISIS attack scribbled in the men's washrooms of the airport yesterday.
