Indian PM admits failure of intelligence agencies after blasts

The Indian government has admitted to "vast gaps" in intelligence gathering and says it will look to tighten anti-terror legislation following a spate of bombings in major cities. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also acknowledged that India had to face up to the growing involvement of home-grown militants in such attacks, which had previously been blamed almost exclusively on neighbouring Pakistan. "We are actively considering legislation to further strengthen the substantive anti-terrorism law in line with the global consensus on the fight against terrorism," Singh told reporters late Wednesday.
