India fences off Bangladesh to keep out Muslim terror
Dean Nelson, Dhaka
 
INDIA is accelerating the construction of a 2,500—mile fence to seal its border with Bangladesh amid growing fears that its Muslim neighbour could become 'a new Afghanistan'.

Indian officials and western diplomats have been alarmed by an increase in terrorist attacks by militant groups linked to Al—Qaeda and by the Dhaka government's failure to crack down on them.
