Mumbai police have turned to New Zealand firm Sealegs to help in beefing up its securty in the Indian city's waterways, which were used by terrorists last year to infiltrate and attack the city. The North Harbour based Sealegs International has received an order for four amphibious marine craft from the Commissioner of Police in Mumbai to be used for patrolling their waterways. The security of those waterways was horribly exposed in November, when 10 terrorists used rubber dinghys to enter the city and slaughter 164 innocent people. City and state officials have now looked to increase security on the water, with the Maharashtra state government already indicating it plans to buy 36 speedboats and several hewlecopters to patrol the coastal aresa.
