Media reports that there was a plan by terrorists to bomb the house of
the Vice President is completely false with no iota of truth
whatsoever.
An unendorsed press briefing note circulated today by some officials
of the National Planning Commission contains a flat-out wrong claim on
the very last line of the last paragraph.
That paragraph should read “The Vice President also disclosed that
security reports has it that scavengers are now being prepared by
insurgents to dump refuse laden with bombs in the houses of VIPs in
the Northeast.”
The last line erroneously says “in the house of the Vice President.”
During the NEC meeting earlier today, the Vice President had mentioned
intelligence reports which suggested that the terrorists have
recruited people such as “BABA BOOLA” who are known to usually go
about picking things from the dust bins. The plan is to use the “BABA
BOOLA” people to plant bombs in houses of VIPs, offices and
government installations in the Northeast.
Please take note of the correction, and ignore such media reports
claiming plans to bomb the VP’s house. Those reports are unfounded and
utterly baseless.
