New Delhi, July 23: Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani today said it was difficult to thwart sudden suicide attacks like the one that had taken place at the Akhnoor army camp in Jammu and Kashmir. Previously it was thought that the most effective weapon was the nuclear bomb or the hydrogen bomb but the new weapon being used by militants was suicide squads in which the country even lost Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, Advani told Rajya Sabha replying to supplementaries during question hour. Rejecting the charge that there had been lowering of guard that led to the attack on the camp, he said "there has been no complacency. There has been no lowering of guard".
