    'We cannot rule out apprehensions of 26/11 type attacks.'

    Army Chief Deepak Kapoor warned that 26/11-type Mumbai terror attacks were a possibility and that India has to take all steps to counter such strikes.

    "We have to take all steps to prevent any Mumbai-type attacks. We cannot rule out apprehensions of such possibilities," Kapoor told reporters in New Delhi on the sidelines of an Army function.

    To a question if there were any terror alerts in the recent times, he said the South Asian region is infested with terror groups. Be it India, Afghanistan or Pakistan, "we have to collectively battle such threats."

    Noting that Pakistan too had come under terror attacks in recent times, he said both Defence Minister A K Antony and Home Minister P Chidambaram had asked us to be cautious against such threats.

    To allegations from Pakistan Army that they have seized some Indian-made weapons from terrorists involved in recent attacks, the Army chief said India had no intention of causing trouble inside Pakistan and that it did not support any terror group in the region.

    "We want Pakistan to be stable and peaceful," he said.

    Say Jai Ho to this COASBy: G.Sriniwasan | 03-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward Once upon a time,India had a Army Chief named Gen.Deepak Kapoor,who warned his countrymen,but did not warn his enemies because he has no clue who is the Enemy?Once upon a time India had a Army Chief who when the enemy was firing across the Border instead of ordering a ROBUST RETALIATION was sitting in his PLUSH office and counting the Border Violation.Once upon a time India had an Army Chief who was assured that immediately after he retires from the Services,he is assured of a SARKARI NAUKRI with all the FREEBIES ATTACHED.only the People and God can save India from this COAS.Let us all say JAI HO to this General

Only he will talk and say that terrorist are crossing the border and China is doing shopping in Arunachal pradesh. Finally he will not act on his own because the Italian maid as not given any instruction what to do? Can you tell us Indian how are you going to protect the border of India and can you give us some demostration. Are you still using outdated guns and outdated MIG-29 parts from China.
    Don't scare publicBy: S L Gera | 03-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward Army Chief's comments instead of scaring the public should have assured of all preparedness to meet such challenges. Moreover, such comments which were meant for army men should not have been made in the presence of the media. Such comments also send a message to the strikers that we not only fear them but also are still unable to face them.
