India second worst terror-hit country, says NGO

TERROR-INDIA

Mumbai, Nov 14 (PTI) India is the second most worst
terrorism-hit country - behind only war-ravaged Iraq - facing
eight terror attacks in 2008 alone and losing over 3,500 lives
in the last few years.

Quoting a recent United States report, city-based NGO
"Bombay First", said India follows Iraq in the number of lives
lost in various terror attacks last year.
"According to the report, terror attacks in India have
increased in the past few years and claimed 3,674 lives, which
is second to that of Iraq," NGO Chairman Narinder Nayar said
on Friday at a security summit organised at Hotel Trident, one
of the sites hit by the terrorists in last November.
Nayar said India, battling terrorism for nearly three
decades now, has been attacked from outside and within.
The summit saw global security experts, including
those from the US and United Kingdom, discussing various
aspects of terrorism and sharing their experiences.
"The 26/11 terror attacks, as Prime Minister of India
Manmohan Singh said, was an attack on the aspirations and
dreams of making Mumbai a global city," Nayar said.
He stressed the need to modernise the police and
review the criminal judicial system.
Besides Mumbai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Bangalore and New
Delhi were also among terror targets last year. PTI KKP/SP
