Although I am not a security expert or nor I work for Navy or Army or NSG , here is some of things which I can point out as a flaw in combating terror.... (note this is not to insult any one, we are proud of our Army / Navy and other personals invovled in the Mumbai 26/11 operations)
1. When the Terrorist holed in to the hotels and took hostages , cant we pump in sleeping gas through the central a/c (as both the hotels has Central A/c Systems implemented) make them asleep then enter into the permises with Gas Mask?
2. The security personal cut-off the television connections after 18-hours of the attack, in that mean time the terrorist were watching the TV channels for the updates on what is happening... which unit is going to come and when they will reach and how they are planning to attack...
3. Why our media people has to be so hungry to be on the exclusive news , even if it means it is a matter of National Security? Why couldnt the government ban the media in the affected areas till the operation is over? We could see some of the journlist standing next to the combat person and reporting what are they trying to prove their news reporting is more important than national security?
4. It was very sad to listen from a commander in MARCOS (Marine Commanders) that the terrorist has the full idea about the hotel layout and we were not very clear with it? So what do think before entering into this building? going for a cup of tea?
5. Again the same commander was disclosing this information National television..."It was too dark, we couldnt see what was happening inside, and the terrorist got used to the darkness so they could find way out easily"....helloooooo wake up , there is something called "Night vision glasses" which is used in most of the operations like this....
Even if you havent used the Night Vision goolges , atleast dont blabber things like this on a situation where the entire international community is looking at our news on how we are tackling the terror situation...
6. " the terrorists had released some kind of gas, making it difficult for the commandos to fire" There is something called "Gas Mask" used in operations like this , which is used to avoid situations like this....
These are some of the areas as a lay person who dont know anything about the combat or fighting terror can point out...
Our country has the 3rd largest army in the world, and the best of the combating forces for gurellia warfare...even with these credentials why we missed on simple points like this?
As base solider or commando...before entering into to combat, there are checklist made, situations analysed , estimation of the enemny and their wepeons are taken into account, the blueprint of the building / location where you are going to combat etc., are considered before entering into the field....but these operations looks very unorganized and most of the time (even after 50 hours of the attack) there are no figures on how many terrorist were there , how many are killed ...no idea about that...i am not even mentioning the possiblity of the terrorist escaping in disguise as a hostage or a commando there were no cross checking on people coming out ...
Have we combated terror???
