AlQa'dah 15, 1432, Oct 13, 2011, SPA -- Police in India foiled a suspected terrorist plot when they found 5 kilogrammes of explosives and detonators in a car parked outside a railway station in northern India, dpa cited news reports as saying Thursday. A team from India's National Security Guard and local police were carrying out investigations in Ambala town in the northern state of Haryana, about 217 kilometres north of New Delhi, the IANS news agency reported. The explosives were found late Wednesday when police in the capital alerted their Haryana counterparts after a tip-off. The explosives were sent for examination, and the area around the Ambala railway station was cordoned off. "We found around 5 kilograms of explosives, five detonators and a timer device," a Haryana police officer was quoted as saying. "Following this, all other vehicles were removed from the parking area." Bomb squads were combing adjoining areas, the officer said. Cities and towns across India, especially the national capital and financial hub Mumbai have been repeated targets of bombings. Three bombs ripped through crowded markets in Mumbai on July 13, killing 26 people, and 13 people were killed in another blast outside the High Court in New Delhi on September 7.
