Indian authorities are on the lookout for a second suspected terror vessel near its maritime border with Pakistan after the explosion of a suspicious Pakistani boat off the Gujarat coast on Thursday.
The second boat, which also came from Karachi, was spotted around the same time as the first one, top sources told The Times of India. The authorities have been keeping an eye on the Pakistani vessel off Keti Bandar.
The Coast Guard had been surveying the two boats that came from Pakistan since December 31, said an official. "The first one blew itself up after it was being chased by the Coast Guard ship near the maritime border off Keti Bandar. There was allegedly a second boat as well which was in operation. The search is on for the second boat. The second boat tried to mingle with the fishing boats on the Indian coast," he said.
