    Security agencies have issued a terror alert on the alleged movement of three suspected Pakistani terrorists from Jammu and Kashmir towards Delhi.
     
    Punjab Police sources say the three terrorists, along with their handler from Jammu and Kashmir, had crossed the Banihal tunnel in the neighbouring state late on Tuesday night.
     
    The terrorists, as per the alert, were moving in a grey-coloured Maruti Swift car, a senior Punjab Police officer told IANS here.
     
    The Punjab Police has warned that the suspected terrorists could have entered Punjab, which shares its northern border with Jammu and Kashmir.
     
    Security and intelligence agencies in Delhi claimed the terrorists could target Delhi, Mumbai or Goa.
