Terrorists buy paragliders.
Rediff is reporting that Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-Tayiba has stocked up on paragliders from Europe to launch an aerial assault on India:
The IB says that there is a growing concern over the Lashkar's ability to launch an attack from the skies. It appears that the terror outfit is trying newer techniques to step on to Indian soil since they are finding it hard to infiltrate through land and sea owing to stepped up vigil.
From the looks of the paraglider above it seems logistically challenging to use it for a terror assault, to say the least. Rediff notes that Indian authorities see the move more as a sign of desperation than a menace, but it's a reminder, as we contemplate expensive full body scanners at airports, that terrorists will find ways around, or above, passive defenses.
