ISRO scientists on terror radar, says IB

After a threat to airports across the country, Pakistan based terrorist groups have now warned that they would target scientists of the Indian Space Research Organisation.

An advisory to this effect was issued following an intercept that was picked up by the Intelligence Bureau.

IB sleuths told rediff.com that scientists and businessmen have always been on the terror radar. Terror outfits consider business tycoons and scientists to be assets of the nation and by targetting them terror groups feel that they would be weakening the country.

ISRO scientists shot into the limelight following the launch of the Chandrayaan, Indias first moon mission.
