Just in at CNN:The U.S. warned India of a potential maritime attack on Mumbai weeks before 179 people were killed, a U.S. official says.
I just heard that reported on CNN, and the only thing on their website is the headline.
UPDATE:
U.S. intelligence agencies warned their Indian counterparts in mid-October of a potential attack "from the sea against hotels and business centers in Mumbai," a U.S. intelligence official tells ABCNews.com.
A second government source says specific locations, including the Taj hotel, were listed in the U.S. warning.
One month later, Nov. 18, Indian intelligence also intercepted a satellite phone call to a number in Pakistan known to be used by a leader of the terror group, Lashkar e Taiba, believed responsible for the weekend attack, Indian intelligence officials say.
The Indian intercept also revealed a possible sea-borne attack, the officials say.
The chairman of the company that owns the hotel, Ratan Tata, told CNN that security was temporarily increased following a warning.
