99% of attacks stopped, 1% can slip through: Rahul reality check

Ninety-Nine per cent of the terror attacks had been stopped in the country due to improved intelligence, Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi said today, but it was impossible to stop all such attacks.

“We will stop 99 per cent of the terror attacks but 1 per cent of attacks might get through,” he told reporters at Bhubaneswar this morning, talking about yesterday’s serial blasts in Mumbai.
“It is very difficult to stop every single terrorist attack. The idea is that we have to fight terrorism at the local level. There has been improvement in our intelligence. The way we think about fighting terrorism has improved by leaps and bounds. But terrorism is something that is impossible to stop all the time. There is now an attack on Mumbai. But you would not have heard all the attacks that were stopped.”
However, Rahul added, “We must try to stop 100 per cent of the attacks. It is something we will fight and defeat.”
