Delhi Commonwealth Games Security

In the years leading up to the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, many visiting sporting teams have had concerns about their security when travelling around the country, and many have postponed or cancelled their trips. This is a problem that the organizers need to address.

Recent terrorist activity has blamed on the group Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based organisation fighting against Indian control in Kashmir. In Delhi, there were bomb attacks in October 2005, which killed more than 60 people, and an armed raid on the Indian parliament in December 2001. Most recently Lashkar-e-Taiba was linked with the Mumbai terrorist attacks in November 2008, which killed at least 188 people.
