Thiruvananthapuram: 15th Monday February, 2010: Kerala is on high alert following a tip off from the intelligence agencies following the blast in Pune, which had killed 11 persons and injured 60 others on 13th 
Saturday.
The central agencies had warned the the state police that there is the possibility of attacks through costal areas at Kochi, the commercial hub of the state which houses the Indian Navy's Southern Naval Command, the Vallarpadom container terminal and the Cochin Port Prust and shipyard.
The police also suspecting that terror organisations may be joining hands of the extreme left organisations. The left has certain influence in pockets of Ernakulam and Kochi-reports the rediff.com.
Central intelligence has warned on the ties between these extreme groups and the Islamist organisations for the mutual benefit of each other-report continued.
The state police has already swung into action and is maintaining a strict patrol throughout the national highways to prevent any suspects getting into the state.
''there was a Headly link'':
Later home secretary G K Pillai said the blasts were definitely connected to arrested American jihadi David Headley, as Osho Ashram in Pune was very close to where the bomb went off. He also said arrested terrorists in India had confirmed that they had seen Headley's videos.
Headley had clearly spoken of the `Karachi project' which was backed by Pakistan's ISI and of the presence of IM men who are currently on the run for their involvement in 2008 bombings in the Pakistani coastal city. "I would say that there was a Headley link," Pillai told a news channel.
Pillai indicated that India would soon move for access to Headley. "We have already asked for access to David Headley. He is currently in grand jury indictment. We have to file a chargesheet, then move a court for Letter Rogatory and then approach the American court for his access."
