BREAKING NEWS: Six gunmen shot by security forces at Delhi airport

Up to six gunman are reported to have been shot by Indian security forces at Delhi’s main airport, according to airport officials.
From the unconfirmed report is it unclear if any of them have been killed.

Massive extra security had been ordered at major Indian airports after intelligence warnings today of 9/11 style hijackings and possible suicide attacks.
The reported shooting follows last week’s terror attacks in Mumbai that left 188 people dead and more than 300 injured.
