Bombs in Commonwealth Games venue
An Australian television news crew says it was able to enter the main Commonwealth Games arena in New Delhi carrying a case for an explosives detonation kit without being stopped, just days before the event begins.
The Channel 7 journalist, who also filmed black market explosives on sale near New Delhi, walked into the venue carrying the case, capable of triggering up to 200 explosions if fitted with a detonator, without attracting suspicion.
Footage broadcast late Monday showed reporter Mike Duffy easily walking into the cordoned off area with the over-sized, wheeled suitcase when a gate was opened to allow a police convoy through.
“Patrol cars drive in, I slip through,” he says in a voiceover. “While they’re distracted by their own cars, I breeze in with an oversized suitcase.
“There are dozens of police. But nobody asks me what it’s for. And this is no ordinary piece of luggage.
“It’s a portable, purpose-built casing for a remote detonation kit. The unit is capable of setting off 200 explosions.”
Duffy had earlier secretly filmed the purchase of the case from the boot of a car in a restaurant car park north of New Delhi.
“If I need to blow up this car, all I need further is a detonator and explosive,” the vendor tells Duffy.
The news crew said they were easily able to obtain both items, including ammonium nitrate and explosives used for mining, within a day’s drive of New Delhi, which will begin hosting the Commonwealth Games on October 3.
Security concerns about the Games were heightened on Sunday after two Taiwanese tourists were wounded when gunmen on motorcycles fired at a tourist bus.
Organisers of the Games have promised the event will be safe, but Australia issued another warning about safety on Monday, saying there was a “high risk” of an attack in New Delhi.
a big game/event is planned. We had threat in all major events. Lastly at FIFA South Africa.Here intentionally people are trying to make it as a big news. This is mostly media created. They need hot newses. So let the games to go on its way. The security, offcourse India will manage.
people security wont be the same in a construction site and a Game stadium. Stadiums are under construction. wht a load of bullshit
Thses are the countries who lost the bid for CWG lol
If not because of that australian reporter, security will be lax from the star to finish. It would be easy for those terrorists who might be anticipating the event.
WK even few in Lahore had decentry and its an Indian plot behind it.
You are right.. Remember , sensationalism sell newspapers...
The security is important for every one of us. Don't drag matter on other boundaries.
India should tighten the security and should fill all the loop holes from where these terrorists may try to intervene before its too late and some of the innocents may get victim of these bombs.
Thanks to The Australian reporter as he have enlightened the problem. What if he get caught Indian security agencies might have him killed the reporter on the spot.
Being a Games supporter Pakistani, i wish all the best to India to have a successful event.
The whole report is attached below with the link.. The news is also in the news around the world.
I know brit and that's the thing that should be discussed, the lax security. Why trying to sensationalize it by saying there are bombs in there?
He was showing how easy it is to bypass security.. Real bomb or not !
Of course it's true..
They have even transferred Indian Defense minister's office to Kabul and our Armed forces headquarter is Kabul too.
Floods are not from INDia I guess, I think, its because no dams and no proper planning.

Terrorists who have bad intentions can use or get idea on this. India should address security concern aside from many problems for the venue of the games.
So he basically walked into the venue with an empty case - what a jerk!
