Prez assassination threat e-mail from Indore

Indore, Jul 21: A cybercafe in the local Sanyogitagunj area has been traced as the place of origin of e-mail threatening to assassinate President A P J Abdul Kalam.

''The sender is yet unidentified. We are interrogating a few suspects,'' Superintendent of Police Anshuman Yadav said here today.

The mail was sent on July 19, a day after Dr Kalam visited Mumbai to lead the nation in paying homage to those slain in the July 11 transit terror blasts.

Rashtrapati Bhavan sources yesterday confirmed that Dr Kalam received e-mail threatening to ''eliminate'' him.

The sources declined to disclose the full content of the mail.

However, they confirmed that it was received by the President on his personal e-mail ID. The e-mail was forwarded to intelligence agencies.

Ever since the Mumbai local train attacks, several threat calls were received by authorities at various monuments and installations but turned out to be hoaxes.
