Indian spy satellite to eye terrorists

 
India will launch a spy satellite from the Sriharikota spaceport on April 20, primarily to keep an eye on its borders, PTI reports.
The satellite is expected to keep a close watch on possible terrorist infiltration into India.
This report comes among increasing intelligence concerns that the LTTE may try to move its fighting cadres under threat of defeat by the Sri Lankan troops to Tamil Nadu and other South India states, where they can safe havens to continue terrorists operations against Sri Lanka, as well as carry out separatist campaigns for Tamilian political groups seeking a separate Tamil state in southern India.
India is also concerned about the possible infiltration of terrorist elements from other neighbouring countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh, and Taliban supported activity in the Jammu-Kashmir border area.
