Zee News reports: The boat that was blown up 365 km off Gujarats Porbandar port on the intervening night of December 31 and January 1 had Navy installations as target and was Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operated, as per reports on Tuesday.

Reports also said that the intercept details of the 'terror boat' had revealed that the four men who blew up themselves on the boat were Lashkar operatives and that they were in constant touch with marine officials and Army in Pakistan.

It is also being said that the boat, which purportedly came from Pakistan, took the same route as the 26/11 Mumbai attack terrorists did in 2008.

To be noted is the fact that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due to Porbandar on January 12.

The boat, reportedly carrying explosive from Karachi, blew itself after a Coast Guard vessel followed it and asked to stop.
