Mumbai Hotel in flames following the attack.
Perhaps the best indication about the fluid situation with regards India's security is the below report in a newspaper column. India suffers from historical problems relating to the creation of India and Pakistan out of one state at the time that the British gave up possession of the territory, creating Pakistan and India - with the disputed border. India is also located close the warlike area of Afghanistan. Please read the excerpt:
INDIA has been put on notice by its
Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, that militants from neighbouring
Pakistan are plotting fresh terrorist attacks on the country less than
nine months after gunmen from across the border staged a deadly
three-day assault on Mumbai.
Dr Singh said cross-border terrorism was a ''most
pervasive threat'' and urged India's security forces to be on high alert
to combat the menace. Terrorist networks had the capacity strike ''all
parts'' of India, he said.
''There is credible information of ongoing plans of
terrorist groups in Pakistan to carry out fresh attacks,'' Dr Singh told
a meeting of India's state chief ministers, or premiers, yesterday.
''After Mumbai attacks, we have put in place additional
measures. There is a need for continued utmost vigilance.''
Dr Singh also said there had been a surge in the
incidence of ''infiltration attempts'' by militants based in Pakistan
into India's Kashmir region.
Last November militants from Pakistan killed 166 people
during the three-day siege of India's financial capital that targeted
exclusive hotels, restaurants, a crowded railway station, a hospital and
a Jewish centre.
Two Australians died during the Mumbai attacks and
several were injured.
The assault strained already frosty relations between the
nuclear-armed rivals. While India stopped short of a military
retaliation, it suspended a peace dialogue with Pakistan after the
Mumbai attacks and demanded that Islamabad dismantle what India says are
terrorist networks. Pakistan denied official involvement in the Mumbai
attacks, but is scheduled to try five men suspected of being involved.
There are fears another attack on India staged from
Pakistan could escalate the tensions.
Dr Singh's comments coincided with what police said was a
terrorist bomb attack yesterday at a petrol station near Peshawar in
Pakistan's troubled North-West Frontier Province that killed at least
six people.
Since the Mumbai attacks India has established regional
hubs for its National Security Guards in Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and
Kolkata.
Dr Singh also highlighted the threat posed by Maoist
insurgents operating in several poor states in the east of India.
''The problem of left-wing extremism is indeed a complex
one,'' Dr Singh said. ''There is a need for a balanced and nuanced
strategy to deal with it.''
