With India's coastal security already breached by terrorists in Mumbai, Defence Minister A K Antony on Wednesday warned the armed forces of possible terror attacks from airborne platforms similar to the 9/11 attacks in the US.
Antony asked them to be prepared to counter the threat of terrorists from the air and prevent a repeat of World Trade Centre-type of attacks carried out by the Al-Qaida. At a meeting with the three Services chief and Defence officials, Antony called for greater coordination among all security and intelligence agencies so as to make the intelligence inputs actionable. The meeting, attended by Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta, Air Chief Marshal Fali Homi Major and Army chief General Deepak Kapoor and Defence Secretary Vijay Singh, also reviewed the situation along the Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan in the wake of reports that its army was on a "high alert" following the Mumbai terror attacks.
Antony, sources said, worked out measures with the armed forces for tightening security and vigil along the LoC to prevent infiltration of terrorists through the land route, as "Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) is known to be an important area for recruitment and training of terrorists." The top defence brass discussed plans for beefing up coastal security and hastening acquisition process for systems and platforms including coastal radars and interceptor boats.
Of particular concern expressed at the meeting was the intelligence warning that airports around the country could be targets of terrorists, forcing the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security to issue a red alert to secure all important airports, sources added. Reacting to the alert, Air Chief Marshal Fali H Major has said that India is ready for countering any unconventional air attack that may threaten its security. He was speaking at Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate while paying homage to martyrs on the occasion of Navy Day on Thursday.
I think now they are taking no more chances - they will raise every imaginable terror warning just to show the country that they “are doing their job very well”. This will lead to a fatigue among Indians and consequently they’ll ask to bring down the risk level a few notches and then the terrorists strike again. Not a good and sustainable idea in my opinion.
Making terror threats public just raises the fear levels of people and hurts business and life as usual. Better to keep this things under wraps but do their jobs well nevertheless.
What I don’t understand is why they and we don’t just go in undercover and start assassinating. Sounds non PC...but hey...

That's like putting out "Roach Motels" for roaches: it only removes the ones you can see.
It is better to alter their DNA. I like Ann Coulter's idea, which would be easier in India than elsewhere: conversions!
