New Delhi, July 23: Strongly refuting the Opposition charge of lowering of guard by security forces that led to the attack on an Army camp in Jammu, Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani today told Rajya Sabha that it was difficult to thwart sudden suicide attacks. "There has been no complacency. There has been no lowering of guard. World over there is a feeling and strong revulsion against terrorism. The government and the people are determined to fight it," Advani said replying to supplementaries during Question Hour.
He said previously it was thought that the most effective weapon was the nuclear bomb or the hydrogen bomb but the new weapon that was being used by militants was suicide squads in which the country even lost prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Stating it was the 10th "fidayeen" attack this year, Advani said all the three terrorists were killed in yesterday's attack though at a heavy cost. Bureau Report
