India lacks capability to win terror war: UNA confidential United Nations report has punched huge holes in India%u2019s anti-terrorism preparedness, after its first ever scrutiny of everything from national laws to border checkposts to judiciary to banks to policework and passports. Terrorism in India, according to some estimates, has claimed 70,000 lives over the years.

The draft report of the Counter Terrorism Committee of the UN Security Council, seen by HT, is a stinging indictment of how the country%u2019s counter-terrorism structures are in disarray. The report was given to the Indian government in July.

Terrorism in India, according to some estimates, has claimed 70,000 lives over the years.

Delegates found that the country%u2019s laws on terrorist financing did not fully comply with UN Resolution 1373 adopted after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US. The resolution lays down the benchmark for counter-terrorism laws worldwide and is binding on all member states.
