All airports on high alert following hijack threat

New Delhi: A high alert has been sounded in airports across the country following intelligence inputs that Pakistan-based terrorists could hijack an aircraft to Bangladesh to seek the release of Mohammed Afzal Guru, who has been sentenced to death in the Parliament attack case.
Intelligence agencies have conveyed this critical information to Bureau of Civil Aviation and Airport security, which in turn put all the airports on alert, sources said late on Friday night.
They said the plane could be taken to Bangladesh to avoid international focus on Pakistan.
