Definitely, and as defense commentator Shiv Aroor observes( and I am sure many others) we don't always hear of the great successes of Indian security and intelligence in thwarting so many terrorist plots. Or even if we do, we don't remember or appreciate enough. It's only the few 'failures' that are talked about. Questions must be asked, that is for certain, but let's keep a sense of balance.Intel failures happen. A dozen US soldiers were blown up in a suicide bomb blast while hurriedly leaving Talibanistan. In that case they had Intel too that a blast was possible but the exact location was hard to determine. Simply having intelligence about a possible strike is not enough in a large country like India. Locations are needed. Unless we figure out a way to decrypt all the terrorist’s communications in real time and place moles within terror groups, it is impossible to learn that. Not even Mossad can pull it off. What Mossad does is build surprise measures that kill comms like the pager explosions of Hezbollah. We should have quietly tracked down who built the satcom phones for Porki Army and put some pav kilo atum bum in there.
I remember an article in India Today magazine from the early 2000s, that even back then, Indian security forces had nabbed 400 terrorist cells throughout India. What if even 10 of those 'succeeded', there would have been a large number of deaths.
