Security alerted sounded in Goa

NEW DELHI: The Centre has sounded a security alert for the International Film Festival of India (IIFI) which opens in Goa from November 23. With intelligence inputs suggesting that the film festival and some tourist places in Goa could be high on the target list of terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Union Home Ministry has alerted security and intelligence agencies to heighten their vigil. A number of hindi and international film personalities are scheduled to participate in the festival that will go on for 10 days.
