certainly helped From across border

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the blasts in Mumbai were carried out “by terrorists with support from across the border.” Among the statements he made today on the attacks in Mumbai were:

I have explained to the Government of Pakistan at the highest level that if the acts of terrorism are not controlled, it is exceedingly difficult for any government to carry forward what may be called as normalisation and peace process.

We had macro-level information (on the blasts). But at the micro-level, we did not have specific intelligence that this particular target they will attack this time.

We are also certain that these terror modules are instigated, inspired and supported by elements across the border without which they cannot act with such devastating effects.
