" Govt Knew EVERYTHING "

Hundreds of lives were lost in the Mumbai terror attacks. Many victims are still struggling between life and death in hospital.

As investigations into the attacks gather momentum , warnings were given to the Maharashtra government by intelligence agencies as early as March this year.

But the warnings seem to have been ignored. It is to be noted that the last one was just twenty-four hours before the attack.

In March 2008, intelligence agencies had warned the Maharashtra government that the Gateway of India and Oberoi Trident hotel were potential targets. This was revealed by Fahim Ansari who was arrested in Lucknow.

Later in August, intelligence agencies warned the crime branch that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) was training terrorists for attacks through sea.

On August 21, the Fishermen Union complained to police that illegal permissions were issued to 800 Gujarati trawlers. Majority of the crewmen were Bangladeshis. The Union feared that RDX was being trafficked through those trawlers and they also informed the Government that RDX was smuggled for sure.

Then in September, the Maharashtra state police was again warned of potential attacks on the Taj and Oberoi Trident hotels. Agencies also mentioned that terrorists were doing recces of the targets. Following that, a month later, intelligence agencies warned of a sea-borne attack and said an Indian, unmarked vessel might be used.

Finally, on November 18, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) again issued a warning to the Coast Guard, Navy and Maharashtra Police that the Taj and Oberoi were potential targets.

So .. WHAT DO THE GOVT HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ALL THIS?????????
