Commonwealth Games security tightened

Security for the Commonwealth Games was tightened after a random terrorist attack wounded two tourists in Delhi.

With the Games due to start officials tried to reassure athletes and the public that they were safe.

Police increased patrols across the city and put more officers on the streets, especially in areas frequented by tourists.

The tourists, from Taiwan, were hurt when gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on Sunday near one of India's biggest mosques, the Jama Masjid, in the heart of the city. Police launched a massive search for the gunmen and issued a security alert across the Indian capital.
