Intelligence warnings of an Islamic terror attack on Mumbai were 'lost in the system', it was revealed yesterday.

Nine days before terrorists arrived by boat to launch a three day assault on the Indian city, security services received information that it was to be targeted.

The intelligence even warned that the strike would come from the sea. In total, 172 people, including a British millionaire, died in last week's attacks. Almost 400 were injured.

Yesterday India said it had proof linking its nuclear rival Pakistan to the massacre – and warned it would raise security to a 'war level'.

The authorities have acknowledged that a warning was received. Intelligence officials say it was passed to the navy, coastguard and police. But the agencies say it did not reach them.

'It appears to have been lost in the system,' one official said yesterday.

Boy if this doesn’t sound familiar.

You’d think they were refering to the US Government!

Our future, I fear.

What timing from the Brits. The word is out from one of the guerrillas that he and his buddies were trained by the Pakistani government military. It’s doubtful that any propaganda effort will stop what is to come for Pakistan or its sneaky private trading partners.

I wonder if Gorelick was “moonlighting” over there.

Did Jamie Gorelick erect a wall there, too?

All the India folks were busy answering computer questions from the USA!

Voice message followed up by hard copy message knuckleheads.

Do they have a Gorelick in their system who erects walls around intelligence agencies so they are unable to talk to one another??

Not that any one person in our government is responsible for 9/11, but she contributed the most to block the free flow of information.

De ju vu

Exactly. The part that sticks in my mind is the consultant to the House Committee who actually wrote a book beforehand about Osama Bin Laden as the man who had declared war on America and as far as I have ever been able to ascertain was completely ignored in favor of idiots over at the CIA and pinheads at the FBI.

FUnny. Tata - the owner of the Taj knew all about the warning.

Bombay needs a 311 system like Philadelphia is installing for the new year.

That yoot would have claimed he was trained by space aliens after the workout he’s gotten from the Indians during interrogation- I would imagine.
