Two Pak boats seized off Gujarat coast

Two Pak boats seized off Gujarat coast: "On high alert after the Mumbai carnage, the Indian Coast Guard has apprehended two Pakistani boats with 17 Pakistanis off the Gujarat coast.

After apprehending the boats, the ICG ship towed it to Jakhau coast, where all the arrested personnel were being interrogated. Sources have not ruled out the possibility of the two boats being used to carry out anti-India activities. After the Mumbai terror strikes on November 26, the ICG had put all its assets on high alert searching for vessels. The terrorists had used such trawlers to enter Indian waters."
