**Government puts airports on alert on hijacking fear: **

ISLAMABAD, June 10: International airports at Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad on high security alert today after intelligence reports that there was a threat of hijacking, a government official said. A security agency source said the alert was to ward off any retaliation to a military crackdown on foreign militants in a remote tribal region this week in which dozens have been killed.
