About 5,000 personnel including snipers, commandos and US marines using helicopters, bomb detectors and electronic jammers will protect President George W Bush during his visit to India.

The personnel would be part of a three-ring security cordon around the US President and First Lady Laura Bush who are due to arrive in New Delhi for their maiden visit to the subcontinent on Wednesday, they said.

"He is a much-threatened VIP. We are fully geared," Manish Agarwal, a top Delhi police officer involved in security operations said.

His comments came as Delhi police arrested two suspected militants belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based militant group

It would be the same no matter who the POTUS would be.

Tony Blair got burned the other day because he didn't have the same.

While the royals run around with the crown jewels. They (British) have been debating an "AF 1" type of system for the PM of UK.

But he keeps flying on leased or commercial flights. The other day his plane had engine trouble and he was stuck in another country. Unable to vote on critical National ID.

Plus what if UK is attacked and he has to get airborne?

Just saying... lack of good plan /system burned him.

They are looking at buying something now.. has to have RR engines like Airbus 330's or 340's. You need backups too.

We have a few 747's 757's 737 for the president as well as bunch of other toys. Even our own C5's from Lackland are sometimes used for POTUS armored limos and stuff.

why would he need to get airborne?
the queen is a supreme commander of UK forces...
blair's only power lies in the fact that he leads majority party. The parliament is where the power is.

NEW DELHI - Tens of thousands of Indians waving black and white flags and chanting "Death to Bush!" rallied Wednesday in New Delhi to protest a visit by President Bush.

Surindra Singh Yadav, a senior police officer in charge of crowd control, said as many as 100,000 people, most of them Muslim, had gathered in a fairground in central New Delhi ordinarily used for political rallies.

"Whether Hindu or Muslim, the people of India have gathered here to show our anger. We have only one message — killer Bush go home," one of the speakers, Hindu politician Raj Babbar, told the crowd.

Bush arrives in India later Wednesday for a three-day visit focused on strengthening the emerging strategic partnership between India and the United States. Dozens of protests have been planned by Islamic leaders and communist politicians.
