RAWALPINDI, Nov 22: Law enforcement agencies and immigration authorities have been put on high alert in Pakistan and China after a fax message was received by the consulate-general of China in Karachi, saying that terrorists were planning to strike at some hotels in Hong Kong and China in the near future.

An official source said that the security agencies had also been directed to inform the respective visa and immigration departments in both the countries to be vigilant.

The source said that the embassy of China intimated the government that their consulate-general in Karachi had received an anonymous fax message which said: “Ali Rizvi, keeping extreme fundamentalist/religious views, possibly members (sic) of some radical religious group and Islamic terrorist network in China, with the help of some US financiers, possibly plan to bomb to some hotels in Hong Kong and in China in coming days.”
