Increased security in India. Pakistan based Lashkar-e-Taiba allegedly planning an attack over New Year's weekend according to intelligence reports.

From AP,

More police were deployed to city streets, including in India's financial capital, Mumbai, which was attacked in 2008. Airports and railway stations and the popular beach resort state of Goa all tightened security following intelligence reports that the banned militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba was planning to target these places, an official with the Home Ministry said. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Security has been high in Mumbai since Friday, when police began searching for four men who authorities believe entered the city to carry out a terrorist attack.

 A suspected bomb¹  - a suit case containing a detonator, batteries and a ticking clock, but without any explosives² - that was probably bound for Germany, has been found at at the international airport outside the Namibian capital Windhoek.¹

 According to AFP,

"It is an unlabelled piece of luggage, which means that its destination was not indicated nor was the airline with which it was to fly.¹

But Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said authorities had found "several indications" that the baggage was to be put on the Munich-bound flight.¹

 On Wednesday, Germany stepped up security after receiving a tip-off from an unnamed country of "concrete indications" that Islamic extremists were making "sustained efforts" to carry out terror attacks against the country at the end of November.³
