New Delhi: The Indian government has reviewed the security of its
diplomatic corps posted in Pakistan and has provided bullet-proof cars
to all senior officials.
All officials posted in the Indian
high commission in Islamabad have been advised by Delhi foreign office
to curtail unnecessary travel and venture out only with proper security
guards, according to Indian news channel Times Now.
"Senior
diplomats posted in Pakistan have been given bullet-proof vehicles," an
Indian official said, referring to various instances of terror attacks
in Pakistan.
Though there is no specific intelligence input
about any threat to the Indian diplomats in Pakistan but additional
steps have been taken for their protection.
Security of the Islamabad high commission complex has also been tightened, officials said.

motorcycle-borne Taliban militants yesterday shot dead a diplomat of
Saudi Arabia, a staunch US ally, claiming that it was to avenge the
killing of Osama bin Laden and continued drone attacks in Pakistan’s
tribal areas. Online
