    • Pranab Dhal Samanta Tags : terror, mumbai Posted: Wednesday, Dec 03, 2008 at 0115 hrs

    While there have been a few such alerts this year, top officials point to the lack of analysis and coordination depending on the veracity of the input.

    So, today the agencies believe that they had provided as much an accurate input they could while the Navy believes it was not enough for it to take urgent action.

    Besides this, India established that the terrorists left from the Azizabad area of Karachi and this intelligence was picked up from a telephonic intercept from Pakistan to Mumbai informing the location of the expected arrival of the group.

    Air strike possible by terroristsBy: danendra jain | 04-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward The Union Government has received intelligence inputs about a possible 9/11 type terror strike from the air. But I am unable to understand why the same message has been circulated through media including Internet, TV and print? What purpose is going to be served by such leakage and such publicity of highly secret intelligence inputs? Are terrorists so much fool that they will strike their terror attack through the same route and at the same place where security arrangement has been tightened? It is rather bitter truth that such publicity of IB inputs cautions terrorists and change their strike point and prompt them to send further misleading emails and spread baseless rumours to confuse the system of safety and security. Terrorists are shrewd enough to befool the government machinery and they know better how to execute their heinous plan.I am therefore of strong conviction that igovernment should not handi over details of intelligence inputs to media ,
    incompetentBy: Indian | 03-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward WHAT IS NAVY'S JOB? DOEW IT NEED ALERT FROM SOME OTHER COUNTRY? DON'T WE HAVE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY? I SEE THAT THEY ARE INCOMPETENT.
    Accept FailureBy: Vishnu | 03-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward I find it hard to believe that if they had definite information, the Navy would not have acted on it. No one wants to take responisbility. All of them are trying to pass the buck. RAW has failed, accept that failure and then try to mend your ways. Passing the buck will not bring the dead back to life.
