American national Headley Coleman's arrest by the FBI and the unravelling of the Pak-based Lashkar-e-Toiba's plot to recruit American mercenaries to launch Mumbai-type attacks on Indian targets is a pointer to the fact that Pak-based Islamic radicals are bent upon doing anything to destroy India in their bid to spread their type of Islam. India will have to be on guard to bolster its defences against the conspiracies and machinations of the LeT and other anti-India organizations and not only strengthen and reinforce its intelligence agencies but also keep in constant touch with the intelligence agencies of friendly countries for intelligence sharing to thwart the nefarious designs of Islamic radicals. While vigilance is the price of liberty, any complacency can be deadly. RJ Khurana, Bhopal
