Karnataka might be sitting on a time bomb just waiting to tick as its definite that terror has definitely moved down south. After hitting Mumbai last month militants are now planning to strike in the heart of India's Silicon Valley in Bangalore and other parts of Karnataka.

Investigations by the Bangalore police after intelligence reports have revealed the existence of Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) cadres in the State and plots by them to divide the people and the nation.

The investigations have revealed that the LeT had hatched the plan to destabilize India and Bangalore in particular, at a masjid in Saudi Arabia. It was in that country that the LeT had set into motion its plan for a Jihad against India and decided to recruit people for this cause.

Saudi Arabia is now in the middle of all the anti-India activities as according to intelligence reports even the plan to bomb Mumbai on 7/11 was finalized in Saudi Arabia.

According to intelligence reports, vital scientific and economic installations and dams in Karnataka along with IT companies, Software parks and busy shopping Malls are all under threat.

The investigations have revealed that between 2003 and 2005, several LeT cadres met at Mulbagal in Kolar district, Guledgudda in Bagalkot district and in Bangalore and decided to attack dargas, temples and scientific institutions. The police also have a list of phone numbers used by the LeT members in Karnataka.

After all the intelligence reports, its certain that militants want to strike Indian cities which were so far considered to be relatively safe and with increasing plans its certain that there is absolutely no ideology behind these people abut just some nonsensical power game perhaps based on religious grounds possibly due to brain washing and propaganda.
