Indian Embassy in Kabul and other assets in Afghanistan may face terror attacks in the near future, according to intelligence inputs which warn of heightened threat from elements based in Pakistan.

Security personnel guarding the embassy, which has already been targeted twice since 2008, and Indian nationals working on developmental projects have been alerted to the possibility of attacks, sources told PTI.

Intelligence inputs provided by the Afghan security agencies have warned that there was a serious threat to Indian assets, including the embassy, in the near future, they said.

The warning talks of the possibility of a wave of attacks, involving explosion of car-bomb followed by assault by gunmen, the sources said.

The attacks could be carried out by terrorist groups based in Pakistan like Laskhar-e-Taiba, which has lately been expanding its base in Afghanistan, and the Haqqani faction of Taliban.

The security of the Indian embassy and other assets has recently been upgraded with deployment of additional personnel of ITBP commandos.

The staff of the embassy and Indians working on developmental projects have been advised to exercise caution and restrict their movements to the minimum. They have also been advised to keep their movements secret.

On February 26 this year, terrorists attacked two hotels where Indians were staying, killing seven of those working on reconstruction projects.

About 3,500 Indians are working on reconstruction projects in Afghanistan covering healthcare, education and social development.
