Security beefed up in Ahmedabad for India- Australia cricket quarterfinal

Ahead of the quarter final match between India and Australia today, authorities have beefed up security in Ahmedabad.

Strict security measure are being taken following an Intelligence Bureau (IB) warning about a probable threat from Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) on India's World Cup cricket venues.

The IB issued advisories to the state governments and the police to be on high alert after it intercepted LeT messages discussing dates and timings of matches being played in India.

Scores of police and security personnel were seen carrying out random checks on vehicles in and around the match venue.

India will be looking to beat Australia in the World Cup for the first time in 24 years when the two top ranked teams clash later today.
