Indian airports were on high alert Friday after intelligence services received information that al-Qaida-linked militants were plotting to hijack a plane.
Such an attack would be the first major terrorist strike in India since 10 heavily armed militants rampaged through the commercial capital Mumbai for three days in November 2008, killing 166 people.
Airports were placed on alert Thursday after the government received warnings from intelligence agencies, aviation spokeswoman Moushumi Chakravarty said.
