Schoolmates Headley, an American, and Rana, a Pakistan-born Canadian, were arrested by the FBI in Chicago last month on charges of planning major terrorist attacks in India and Denmark.
The Uttarkahand government is learnt to have received information on October 27 about a possible attack on the schools. The state police have since deployed plainclothesmen on the campuses and stationed Quick Reaction Teams of 15-odd men with sophisticated weaponry close by, and are reportedly running background checks on school employees.
The police declined to divulge details of the threat and their response.
But an officer said “there were some unconfirmed and unverified inputs”. “We are not taking them lightly. We are in touch with school authorities,” he said.
The reference to the NDC was made in a conversation Headley and Rana had on September 7, which the FBI recorded. “Headley and Rana discussed Denmark and other targets, including the National Defence College in India... Rana, in fact, used the English word ‘target’ in this discussion,” the FBI informed a Chicago court.

As a graduate of Woodstock School, I can attest to the strength of the curriculum and atmosphere in teaching the universal principles of compassion, brotherhood,and non-violence (ahimsa). This expression of deepest love for all, including one's opponents, includes not only a lack of physical harm to them, but also a lack of hatred or ill-will towards them. Seems like a philosophy that should be encouraged rather than squashed, whether it be via physical or intellectual means. We're all in this together.
