LD KAPOOR

New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI) Noting that India has let those
behind terror strikes like Parliament attack to get away,
Indian Army Chief Gen Deepak Kapoor Wednesday said the country
cannot afford to witness a repeat of 26/11 and it was time to
say "no more" taking cue from the US and Indonesia.

He warned that South Asia would be under "constant and
continuous threat of terrorism of asymmetric and fourth
generation warfare" and pitched for creation of a national
architecture of intelligence sharing to ward off attacks.
"The US has not allowed a second 9/11 to happen,
Indonesia has not allowed a second Bali-bombing to happen.
India has allowed people to get away after the Parliament
attack, Delhi blasts and finally the 26/11 incident. The time
for all of us has come to say no more," Kapoor said at a CII
seminar on national security.
The Army Chief said that the country cannot afford to
"witness the repeat" of a 26/11-type attack.
His comments came on a day when it was revealed that
Lashkar-e-Taiba had been planning a 26/11-type attack in New
Delhi, which had been foiled by the FBI.
Gen Kapoor emphasised the need for creation of a
nationwide architecture for sharing of intelligence and
security-related information as part of efforts to prevent any
further terror strikes in the country.
He said the earmarking of responsibilities of all the
Ministries, agencies and departments was also a "mandatory
step" for improving security. He also asked the civil society
to come together to tackle security threats. PTI AJD
