Less than a week after the deadly terrorist assault in Mumbai, a Chabad House elsewhere in India received a threatening note from Muslim fundamentalists. Terrorism analysts have identified additional threats to Indian

targets, as well as to upscale Western hotel chains worldwide.
According to a report on Israel TV's Channel 1, the Chabad House in Pune, India, has received a letter threatening to "wipe out the Chabad House and the Jews and Israelis.... The CIA and Mossad will not be able to save you."
Although hate mail sent to Jewish institutions is not unusual, the timing has led Israeli security services to recommend heightened alert levels and increased protective measures at the Pune outreach center. A representative of the Prime Minister's Office has met with Chabad leaders to discuss the ongoing threat to Jews in the Indian subcontinent.
United Torah Judaism Knesset Member Yaakov Litzman and the Chief Rabbinate have both called upon the Foreign Ministry to provide security for Chabad Houses in the danger zones. In addition to the worldwide network of Chabad Houses providing religious and material assistance to the Jewish communities in their various locales, many of those centers in places like the Far East and South America serve as familiar way-stations for traveling Israeli youths.
The ongoing terrorist threat to India, however, is far broader than the Chabad Houses there, of course. Deccan Mujahideen - a terrorist front group that initially claimed responsibility for the Mumbai assault - sent email on Monday saying it is not finished yet and that is next target is Indian air travel. This is in line with jihadist communications, according to analysts from the Israel- and US-based Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR).
The jihadists are circulating three main messages among their supporters, say ITRR researchers: 1) the attacks were part of a larger tactic of striking upscale hotels worldwide, what they are calling the "Hotel War"; 2) more such attacks are on the way; and 3) the jihadists are not finished with India, which is in store for even more shocking terror assaults.
Meanwhile, a bomb blast in a train in the northeast Assam state on Tuesday morning killed at least two people and wounded 30. The attack was not believed to be connected to the Mumbai attacks or to the global jihad, as Assam has been facing a local insurgency unrelated to Islamist goals.
