The Indian High Commission in Bangladesh, along with the embassies of the US and the UK, was the target of Pakistan-based terror outfit LeT whose operatives were nabbed here recently, police said on Sunday.
Bangladesh police arrested three terror suspects, including two operatives of Lashkar-e-Toiba, and their HuJI accomplice from the south eastern port city of Chittagong this week, claiming to have foiled a plot to attack the US embassy.
"The information we gathered from interrogating the detained three (suspected) militants suggested that they also planned to attack the Indian high commission alongside the two other embassies," an official familiar with the interrogation told PTI preferring anonymity.
the local operatives of LeT and their Bangladeshi partner from HuJI received instructions from LeT's leadership in Pakistan over telephone and they visited the Baridhara diplomatic enclave to chalk up the attack plans.
